Trailer & Poster for ‘Palo Alto’ Starring Emma Roberts and James Franco

Francis Ford Coppola‘s granddaughter, Gia Coppola, took short stories written by James Franco and turned them into Palo Alto, a new film coming to theaters on May 9 starring Emma Roberts, Franco, Jack Kilmer, Nat Wolff, Zoe Levin, Claudia Levy, Chris Messina and Val Kilmer.

Today Tribeca Film, which picked up the film after it played Telluride, Venice and Toronto last year, released the first trailer and poster for the film, along with a lengthy synopsis:

Shy, sensitive April (Emma Roberts) is the class virgin -a popular soccer player and frequent babysitter for her single-dad coach, Mr. B. (James Franco). Teddy (Jack Kilmer) is an introspective artist whose best friend and sidekick Fred (Nat Wolff) is an unpredictable live wire with few filters or boundaries. While April negotiates a dangerous affair with Mr. B., and Teddy performs community service for a DUI – secretly carrying a torch for April, who may or may not share his affection – Fred seduces Emily (Zoe Levin), a promiscuous loner who seeks validation through sexual encounters. One high-school party bleeds into another as April and Teddy finally acknowledge their mutual affection, and Fred’s escalating recklessness spirals into chaos.

Check out the trailer and poster below.
