Nick Robinson stalks Rosario Dawson into a relationship, and Grant Gustin is cool with it, in the “Krystal” trailer.
After watching the questionably acted yet oddly charming first “Krystal” trailer, I can’t help but want to see more. Nick Robinson, who is currently receiving a hearty heaping of “love” for “Love, Simon,” joins superhero friendly actors Rosario Dawson (Netflix’s “The Defenders”) and Grant Gustin (CW’s “The Flash”) for what seems to be an oddball indie-romance-comedy-ish thing-a-ma-jig.
A young man living a sheltered life develops a crush on a stripper and joins her Alcoholics Anonymous group just so he can be in the same room with her.
Watch the official trailer #1 for “Krystal.”
First and foremost, I was really surprised to see Grant Gustin, as I have not seen him play much other than an emotional superhero in “The Flash” and and emotional all boy prep-school a-cappella group leading bully in “Glee” [GASP].
I’m also really interested to see the on-screen dynamic between Nick Robinson and Rosario Dawson. It’s an interesting pairing and a super bizarre concept, just incase the ‘guy stalks stripper into loving him, punches her ex T.I. in the face, then rides away on her son’s lap in his electric wheelchair.’
Read our review of “Love, Simon.”
Speaking of T.I., he’s apparently in this movie. So is William H. Macy, and he’s also directing. Is it a low-key star-studded sleeper-hit waiting to happen? Maybe. But there is a big question mark on writer Will Addis. Given his 5-installment and less than desirable repertoire, including “Avenging Angelo” a crime-action comedy starring Sly Stallone and “Black Cadillac” featuring Randy Quaid, this is the foreseeable worst case.
Wether “Krystal” is A-Macy or joins the ranks of Will Addis’ IMDB page, I’ll be watching. Not like in a weird Sting-way or something, I mean I’m going to watch the movie when it comes out.
“Krystal” hits theaters April 13th.
