RLJE Films has dropped the official trailer for the drama Shoplifters of the World [SLOTW] inspired by a true story. Ellar Coltrane [ECOLT] stars a fan of The Smiths and Joe Manganiello [JOMAN] as a radio DJ forced to play their music after the band's breakup. Shoplifters of the World opens day-n-date in theaters and on VOD on March 26th.
In the Summer of 1987, four friends, reeling from the sudden break-up of the iconic British band The Smiths, embark on a night out of partying to mourn their musical loss. At the same time, an impassioned Smiths fan takes a local radio DJ hostage at gunpoint and forces him to play nothing but Smiths tracks. With the radio station playing as the soundtrack to their night, the friends go on a wild journey of self-discovery that will transform them forever. Featuring an incredible soundtrack – including 20 songs from The Smiths – Shoplifters of the World is a glorious ode to the craziness of the ‘80s and the power of music to change people’s lives.
