‘Eephus’ Official Trailer – A Fantastic Baseball Movie Unlike Any Other

“Can’t quit this field, huh? Doesn’t wanna stop playing…” Music Box Films has revealed an official trailer for Eephus, an indie baseball movie made by filmmaker Carson Lund as his feature directorial debut. It premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors’ Fortnight section last year – and will be out to watch in March. This wonderful, one-of-a-kind story of old timers playing ball is unlike any baseball movie you’ve ever seen before. As an imminent construction project looms over their beloved baseball field, two New England recreational teams play ball for the last time. As day turns to night and innings bleed together, the players chat, laugh, and squabble as they face the uncertainty of a new era. Named for a rarely-deployed curveball, Eephus is both a ribald comedy for the baseball connoisseur and a movie for anyone who’s ever lamented their community slipping away. Starring Keith William Richards, Cliff Blake, Ray Hryb, Stephen Radochia, David Pridemore, Pete Minkarah, David Torres Jr., Wayne Diamond, with Frederick Wiseman, and Bill “Spaceman” Lee. An ode to sports, community, and the passage of time. I’m a huge fan of this film, it’s fantastic in so many ways (my review). A must see when it opens this March. // Continue Reading ›
