Amazon Studios has debuted the official trailer for the drama Sound of Metal [SOMTL] on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Riz Ahmed [RAHME] stars as a drummer who is going deaf, and Olivia Cooke [OCOOK] as his girlfriend. Directed by Darius Marder, Sound of Metal opens in theaters November 20th and premieres on Amazon Prime Video December 4th.
During a series of adrenaline-fueled one-night gigs, itinerant punk-metal drummer Ruben (Riz Ahmed) begins to experience intermittent hearing loss. When a specialist tells him his condition will rapidly worsen, he thinks his music career — and with it his life — is over. His bandmate and girlfriend Lou (Olivia Cooke) checks the recovering heroin addict into a secluded sober house for the deaf in hopes it will prevent a relapse and help him learn to adapt to his new situation. But after being welcomed into a community that accepts him just as he is, Ruben has to choose between his equilibrium and the drive to reclaim the life he once knew.
