RoadsideFlix has released the trailer for its upcoming movie Somewhere in Queens, from director Ray Romano.
According to the official synopsis, the film revolves around Leo Russo (Ray Romano), who lives a simple life in Queens, New York with his wife Angela (Laurie Metcalf), their shy but talented son “Sticks” (Jacob Ward), and Leo’s close-knit network of Italian-American relatives and neighborhood friends. “Happy enough working at the family construction business alongside his father (Tony Lo Bianco) and younger brother (Sebastian Maniscalco), Leo lives each week for Sticks’ high-school basketball games, never missing a chance to cheer on his only child as he rules the court as a star athlete. When the high-school senior gets a surprising and life-changing opportunity to play basketball in college, Leo jumps at the chance to provide a plan for his future, away from the family construction business. But when sudden heartbreak threatens to derail Sticks, Leo goes to unexpected lengths to keep his son on this new path,” the synopsis reveals.
The trailer, scored by an emotional song, gives viewers a glimpse at Leo’s life and what he does when Sticks no longer wants to play basketball because of a heartbreak and the scout asks him to get him back on the court. Afraid that his son might lose the college scholarship, he goes to Sticks’ ex-girlfriend and asks him to keep going out with him.
Somewhere in Queens will be released in theaters this spring, April 21.
