Universal Pictures has dropped the first trailer for the upcoming drama comedy The Leisure Seeker, starring Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland. The film, which debuted at the Toronto Internation Film Festival in 2017, arrives in UK cinemas on May 4th 2018.
The Leisure Seeker is the nickname of the old RV used by Ella and John Spencer (Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland) to take vacations with their children in the 1970s. On a summer morning, desperate to escape a destiny of medical care that would have kept them apart forever, the couple astonish their meddling adult children by hopping on board that dated vehicle and dashing down Old Route 1 towards Key West for a new adventure. Their trip through an America they no longer recognize – mixing hilarious moments with others of pure terror – is their chance to retrace a married life nourished by passion and devotion, but also by secret obsessions that abruptly resurface and cause surprising revelations right up to the very end.
