Focus Features has revealed the official trailer for the comedy The Holdovers [HLDOV] directed by Alexander Payne [ALPAY]. Paul Giamatti [PGIAM] stars as a teacher at a boarding school who has to stay behind during the winter holiday to watch over students who remained on campus. The Holdovers opens in limited release on October 27th before expanding wide on November 10th.
THE HOLDOVERS follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them -- a damaged, brainy troublemaker (Dominic Sessa) -- and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).
