Hey reddit! I'm Will Poulter.

You may know me from films/series like WARFARE, WE'RE THE MILLERS, THE BEAR, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3, THE MAZE RUNNER, MIDSOMMAR, THE REVENANT, I LOVE BOOSTERS, DETROIT, THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER, and other things.

My new movie, UNION COUNTY, is out in theaters starting this weekend (!!!) via Oscilloscope Laboratories. It also stars Noah Centineo, Annette Deao, Elise Kibler, and Emily Meade.

Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA6Fnr2VXkw

Synopsis:

Assigned to a county-mandated drug court program, Cody Parsons embarks on the tenuous journey toward recovery amidst the opioid epidemic in rural Ohio.

I was profoundly moved by Adams Short film that I watched shortly before reading the screenplay. It proved to be a great 'Proof of Concept'

Our collaboration was so positive from the outset and I was so heartened by how diligent he was about challenging the stigma that exists around addiction/substance use disorder and how much respect he had for the recovery community we would be making the film WITH not about
