Well Whiplash was one of the films that everybody was talking about after Sundance(after walking away with both the Grand Jury and Audience prizes) this year so it is no surprise that Sony have quickly decided to let everyone know what it is all about. They released the following information today:
Synopsis
Andrew Neyman (Miles Teller) is an ambitious young jazz drummer, single-minded in his pursuit to rise to the top of his elite east coast music conservatory. Plagued by the failed writing career of his father (Paul Reiser), Andrew hungers day and night to become one of the greats. Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons), an instructor equally known for his teaching talents as for his terrifying methods, leads the top jazz ensemble in the school. Fletcher discovers Andrew and transfers the aspiring drummer into his band, forever changing the young man’s life. Andrew’s passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into obsession, as his ruthless teacher continues to push him to the brink of both his ability—and his sanity.
Cast: Miles Teller, J.K. Simmons, Melissa Benoist, Paul Reiser

This looks like a really good movie. I’m not really sold on Miles Teller and his acting yet, but he has potential to be one of the next best actors around. There are a lot vying for that spot though. He will also be playing John Belushi in a biopic about the late comedians life, so there’s a chance this kid has what it takes to be a very good actor. We will see.
I’ve never heard of this actor so I can give him a clear run to impress me. I love arty style films and as a writer I have an interest already in the plot of this film.
