Every week, The GLAAD Wrap brings you LGBTQ-related entertainment news highlights, fresh stuff to watch out for, and fun diversions to help you kick off the weekend.
1.) Sam Felder’s timely documentary Heightened Scrutiny is coming to theaters, New York on July 18 at the DCTV Firehouse and Los Angeles on July 26 at the Laemmle Noho, with additional cities to follow. The doc centers on Chase Stangio—a fearless ACLU attorney and the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court—as he fights a high-stakes legal battle for transgender adolescents’ access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare. While Chase battles in the courtroom, he must also fight against a biased mainstream media landscape, exposing how the narratives in the press influence public perception and, ultimately, endangers lives. At its core, Heightened Scrutiny is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice; watch a clip below and find the film at a theater near you.
2.) The trailer for trans actress Tommy Dorfman’s directorial debut I Wish You All the Best has arrived! Written and directed by Dorfman, the film is based on Mason Deaver’s best-selling novel and follows a teen (out actor Corey Fogelmanis) who moves in with their older sister after coming out as nonbinary. At a new school, they find support from an eccentric art teacher (Lena Dumham), forms an unexpected bond with another student (gay actor Miles Gutierrez-Riley), and learns to navigate the awkward hurdles of young adulthood. Check out the trailer below and don’t miss the pic in theaters November 7.
3.) Paramount Pictures unveiled the first trailer for The Running Man, featuring out stars Colman Domingo, Lee Pace, Katy O’Brian, and Sean Hayes. Based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, the dystopian action-comedy centers on The Running Man, a deadly TV show where contestants must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins for a chance to win an ever-growing cash prize. Hosted by Bobby Thompson (Domingo), desperate working-class father Ben Richards (Glen Powell) decides to enter the game, joining Laughlin (O’Brian), another contestant, and Evan (Pace), a skilled hunter. Soon, Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. Watch the trailer below and catch The Running Man in theaters November 7!
