Roadside Attractions has revealed the official trailer for the drama Dreamin' Wild [DRMNW] based on a true story. Casey Affleck [CAFFL] and Walton Goggins [WGOGG] star as musician brothers Donnie and Joe Emerson, whose 1979 album was rediscovered and made famous by a blogger in 2008. Written and directed by Bill Pohlad, Dreamin' Wild opens in theaters on August 4th.
The true story of love and redemption, is about what happened to singer/songwriter Donnie Emerson and his family when the album he and his brother recorded as teens was rediscovered after thirty years of obscurity and was suddenly hailed by music critics as a lost masterpiece. While the album’s rediscovery brings hopes of second chances, it also brings long-buried emotions as Donnie, his wife Nancy, brother Joe, and father Don Sr. come to terms with the past and their newly found fame.
