Apple TV + continues to compile a catalog of original movies for its relatively new streaming service as it carves out its own niche in the streaming crowd. Today we take a first look at her new drama Palmer, in which pop megastar and sometimes actor Justin Timberlake appears as a convicted criminal trying to reform his life. The film comes from director Fisher Stevens, who is an icon of the 80s and has had a steady career in the entertainment industry ever since.
From Apple Original Films, Palmer will premiere worldwide on Apple TV + shortly after the new year. The release date is January 29, 2021. Today Apple TV + presented the trailer for the new film Palmerthat arrives with the first poster.
Former high school soccer star Eddie Palmer (Justin Timberlake) went from hometown hero to convicted criminal and earned twelve years in a state prison. He returns to Louisiana, where he moves back in with Vivian (June Squibb), the grandmother who raised him. As Palmer tries to keep his head down and rebuild a quiet life, memories of his glory days and the suspicious eyes of his small township haunt him.
Things get more complicated when Vivian’s hard-living neighbor Shelly (Juno Temple) disappears down a long bend, leaving her precocious and unique 7-year-old son Sam (Ryder Allen), who is frequently subject to bullying, in Palmer’s reluctant care. Over time, Palmer becomes drawn into a more hopeful world as he connects with Sam through their shared experience of feeling different from others.
Life improves for Palmer and a romance develops between him and Sam’s teacher Maggie (Alisha Wainwright). An inspiring and unexpected journey unfolds for the three of them, but Palmer’s past soon threatens to tear this new life apart.
