First-time director Gille Klabin's psychedelic parable THE WAVE starring Justin Long will be hosting its World Premiering at Fantastic Fest later this week and today we have the movie's trailer to share with you guys. Check it out above and then make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think!
The film stars Justin Long as Frank, an opportunistic insurance lawyer
who thinks he’s in for the time of his life when he goes out on the town to celebrate a soon-to-be promotion with his co-worker, Jeff (Donald Faison), but their night takes a turn for the worst when Frank is dosed with a hallucinogen that alters his perception and changes his life forever. He is thrown into a psychedelic quest through board meetings, nightclubs, shootouts, and alternate dimensions. As Frank ping-pongs across reality, he finds himself on a mission to find a missing girl, himself… and his wallet.

Now I don't know about you, but personally, I'm just going to take this trailer as further proof that my crazy, overthinking-ass never need partake in such drugs as LSD and whatnot. This would be my life. Forever. No thanks. I'll go ahead and stick to my caffeine and nicotine. They're good enough for me.
