Teaser Released for Pavement Biopic 'Range Life'

The first teaser for Alex Ross Perry’s unconventional film 'Range Life: A Pavement Story' has been released, featuring Joe Keery as Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus. The film blends elements of rock documentary, biopic, and performance art, and the trailer parodies typical biopic tropes while showcasing Keery's character delivering laidback philosophical musings. Alongside Keery, the cast includes notable actors such as Fred Hechinger, Logan Miller, and Jason Schwartzman, with actual members of Pavement making cameo appearances. 'Range Life' premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year and is expected to include the band's first new song since 1998. A wider release date is still pending, with plans for both theatrical and streaming distribution. The film reflects on the band's impact on indie rock culture during the '90s, while exploring themes of identity and artistic authenticity.
