A trailer has been released for a title with a buzz growing around it, described as Stand by Me meets The Virgin Suicides and even a little Stranger Things thanks to its ’80s setting and the use of popular songs from that decade.

The project is titled When the Street Lights Go On, and it’s a crime drama about a boy who finds the bodies of a murdered girl and teacher in a car out in the woods in the summer of 1983.

You can read much more about the project and check out the first trailer below.

Cobain: Montage Of Heck had a well-received premiere in January at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT, and now the first footage from director Brett Morgen‘s Kurt Cobain documentary has been released.

Watch the first trailer for Cobain: Montage Of Heck here below.

The film is the first and only authorized documentary about the late Nirvana front man, who died at 27 years old on April 5, 1994 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The documentary, which is a mix of live-action footage, photos, interviews, and cell animation painted by Hisko Hulsing, with narration from portions of Cobain’s recorded autobiography, includes interviews with Cobain’s family, including his parents and sister.

Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck, the first and only authorized documentary about the late Nirvana front man, will make its world premiere tonight at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT, and director Brett Morgen has revealed a first look at the film’s cell animation, which was painted by hand by Hisko Hulsing.

Check it out here below.

The documentary, which is executive produced by Frances Bean Cobain, the late singer’s daughter with wife Courtney Love, will be a mix of live-action and animation. HBO Documentary Films has already picked up Montage Of Heck and will air it on their cable network some time this Spring.

“A Democratic Convention is about to begin in a police state. There just doesn’t seem to be any other way to say it.” – Walter Cronkite

“Many of us may fight and die here. We recognize this as the vision of the founders of this nation. We recognize that we are America. We recognize that we are free men. Political pigs, your days are numbered. We are the Second American Revolution. We are winning. Yippie.” – Abbie Hoffman

It was one of the saddest and most sobering moments in American history. At the height of the Vietnam War with the nation sharply divided for the first time since the Civil War, the U.S. was going through a period of great social and political upheaval. The Civil Rights Movement and the Women’s Rights Movement were going full force. President Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, had presided over the escalation of the burgeoning conflict in Vietnam into a full-blown war and was ramping up the draft to the point where no man was safe from conscription.
