Ben Affleck's Addiction Film 'The Way Back' Gets Debut Trailer - Watch Now

Ben Affleck‘s movie about struggling with addiction, titled The Way Back, has a brand new trailer.

“So proud of this one and the incredible team behind it. Here’s your first look at #TheWayBack, a story of endurance and redemption. In theaters this March,” Ben wrote upon the release of the trailer.

Here’s a synopsis of the movie: Jack Cunningham (Affleck) once had a life filled with promise. In high school, he was a basketball phenom with a full university scholarship, when suddenly, for reasons unknown, he walked away from the game, forfeiting his future. Now years later, Jack is spiraling down, triggered by an unspeakable loss, and drowning in the alcoholism that cost him his marriage and any hope for a better life. When he is asked to coach the basketball team at his alma mater, which has fallen far since his glory days, he reluctantly accepts, surprising no one more than himself. As the boys start to come together as a team and win, Jack may have finally found a reason to confront the demons that have derailed him. But will it be enough to fill the void, heal the deep wounds of his past, and set him on the road to redemption?

Al Madrigal, Michaela Watkins, Janina Gavankar and Glynn Turman also star in the film, in theaters on March 6, 2020.

Ben Affleck has been open about his own struggle with addiction.

Jillian Bell happily strikes a pose with Tobey Maguire while attending premiere of her Amazon Studios’ film Brittany Runs A Marathon held at Regal LA Liveon on Thursday (August 15) in Los Angeles.

The 35-year-old actress and Tobey, 44, who is an executive producer of the film, were joined at the event by co-stars Lil Rel Howery, Michaela Watkins, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Alice Lee, Micah Stock and Nadia Quinn, as well as Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke, writer-director Paul Downs Colaizzo and real-life inspiration of the film, Brittany O’Neill.

Synopsis: Hilarious, outgoing and always up for a good time, New Yorker Brittany Forgler (Jillian) is everybody’s best friend ― except maybe her own. At 27, her hard-partying ways, chronic underemployment and toxic relationships are catching up with her, but when she stops by a new doctor’s office to try to score some Adderall, she gets slapped with a prescription she never wanted: Get healthy. Too broke for a gym and too proud to ask for help, Brit is at a loss, until her seemingly together neighbor Catherine pushes her to lace up her Converse sneakers and run one sweaty block. The next day, she runs two. And soon, after finishing her first mile, she sets an almost unthinkable goal: running in the New York City Marathon.

Amazon Studios is set to release Brittany Runs a Marathon in theaters on August 23 – Watch the trailer here!

Josh Gad Hilariously Dressed Up As Cowboy To Luke Evans' 'Fancy Dress Party'!

Josh Gad hit James Corden‘s couch alongside Michaela Watkins on last night’s (August 8) episode of The Late Late Show!

Host James asked the 38-year-old Angry Birds 2 actor about any standout experiences from his recent time spent in London, and he told him about the pickle he found himself in when invited to Luke Evans‘ fancy dress party.

“It was a ‘fancy dress party’. When I hear fancy dress party, I think like a suit or black tie – but that means something different in your country. They mean costume,” Josh revealed, which resulted in him dressing as a cowboy and feeling a bit out of place.

James also asked Michaela Watkins about her general behavior at parties, and Michaela admits she’s fine if she doesn’t consume marijuana, like the time she shared her tough day dealing with online bullies to a woman she later was told was Monica Lewinsky.

The evening before, Josh Gad reveled some details about the highly anticipated Frozen sequel on Jimmy Kmmel Live.
