A24 releases the first trailer for “Club Kid,” Jordan Firstman’s film that drew major attention at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie reportedly receives a seven-minute standing ovation at Cannes, and it is now set to come to cinemas.
The outlets describe the film as a party-promotion story involving a surprise element connected to Firstman’s character. Variety adds that the film’s Cannes showing leads to strong industry interest, including a studio bidding process that ends with A24 acquiring the title for $17 million. The trailer announcement also ties the release to a cast that includes Cara Delevingne, Diego Calva, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and Reggie Absolom.
Across the coverage, the emphasis varies: Mashable focuses on the Cannes reaction and the imminent move to cinemas, while Variety highlights the trailer, the Cannes impact, and the reported acquisition deal and cast details. Both accounts present “Club Kid” as an A24 release following a high-profile Cannes debut.
