Trailer: Richard Linklater’s 12-years-in-the-making ‘Boyhood’

The trailer for Richard Linklater’s outrageously-ambitious, seemingly-very-moving coming-of-age drama Boyhood has arrived.

Shot over 12 years, the picture captured the growth of its two central characters, played by Ellar Coltrane and Linklater’s daughter, Lorelei.

Ethan Hawke – Linklater’s Before trilogy collaborator – and Patricia Arquette play their parents.

The flick arrives in US cinemas this July, with an Australian release to follow sometime afterwards. Hey, we’ve already waited 12 years… what’s another few months?
