The trailer for the film adaptation of 'Nickel Boys' has been released and is now available for viewing.

The film's backdrop is particularly haunting, as dozens of unmarked graves have been discovered on the grounds of the infamous Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys.

Themes of survival, friendship, and the struggle for humanity are explored against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement.

Critics have praised director RaMell Ross for successfully transforming Whitehead's novel into a unique film that delves into themes of Black boyhood, masculinity, and community.

The cast features notable actors including Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson, Hamish Linklater, Fred Hechinger, Daveed Diggs, and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.

The film will also be released in the UK by Curzon in November and showcased at festivals in London and New York.

Based on Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning 2019 novel, 'Nickel Boys' tells the poignant story of two young men at a segregated reform school in Florida during the 1960s.

The narrative follows the friendship between Elwood Curtis and Turner as they endure life in a brutal reformatory school during the Jim Crow era.

This film marks RaMell Ross's feature directorial debut, following his Oscar-nominated documentary 'Hale County This Morning, This Evening'.

Colson Whitehead has now won the Pulitzer Prize twice, with this adaptation further solidifying his literary acclaim.

The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews, currently holding an 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

'Nickel Boys' is set for a limited theatrical release on October 25, followed by availability for streaming on Prime Video.
