Fred Durst’s The Education of Charlie Banks Trailer

The Education of Charlie Banks Movie StillOne of the films at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival which caught my attention and that of critics was Fred Durst’s (yes, the Limp Bizkit front man) directorial debut The Education of Charlie Banks.

The film, set in the 70’s stars Jesse Eisenberg as Charlie Banks, a college student faced with old problems when the bully he had an unpleasant encounter with back in high school shows up on his campus. I was very curious to see this when it originally hit the streets but the film has been MIA for over a year. I’d nearly forgotten about it until I saw the trailer for Durst’s new film which sent me into a frenzy of “This is the movie people liked and which played at a film festival? You Serious?” That sparked the research and the uncovering of the trailer for Durst’s debut.

The Education of Charlie Banks does have Anchor Bay behind it for both the theatrical and DVD releases but the film is no where on the distributor’s site as an upcoming release and checking out the film’s official website, the last screening of the film was November of last year. Here’s hoping it pops up on the release schedules for later in the year.

Trailer is tucked under the seat!

  1. I saw The Education of Charlie Banks at Tribeca last year as well, and really enjoyed it. A lot of it was filmed here in RI, be nice to see it in theaters.
