“Palo Alto” Trailer — Coming-Of-Age Indie starring Emma Watson, James Franco and Jack Kilmer

Francis Ford Coppola is accompanying his granddaughter, Gia Coppola, to this year's Telluride Film Festival for the premiere of her directorial debut "Palo Alto," a coming-of-age drama based on the collection of short stories by actor James Franco, who also co-stars in the picture alongside Emma Roberts. The indie film sees Roberts as a young high school student named April, who must decide to continue to have a secret affair with an older football coach (Franco) or start a relationship with a fellow troubled teen named Teddy (played by Jack Kilmer; son of Val Kilmer).

"Palo Alto" has yet to find a U.S. distributor, or release date, but you can check out the film's festival trailer, which is embedded above.
