It’s the official trailer for Tick, Tick… Boom!

With six weeks to go until its release, Netflix has revealed the film’s first full-length trailer, as well as the artwork, and the song “30/90” from the soundtrack.

Tick, Tick… Boom! tells the autobiographical story of Jonathan Larson, the struggling writer who went on to create the theatrical masterpiece Rent. Although Larson initially performed Tick, Tick… Boom! as a one-man show, it was further adapted for stage (and now screen) after his death.

The Amazing Spider-Man star, Andrew Garfield, has stepped into the writer’s shoes and can be seen both singing and playing the piano in the trailer. 

The film is helmed by Lin-Manuel Miranda who is no stranger to the theatre (hello, Hamilton!) but is making his feature film directorial debut.

Tick, Tick… Boom! hits Netflix on November 19^th.

tick, tick…BOOM! is based on Jonathan Larson’s semi-autobiographical musical of the same name and it centers on an aspiring theatre composer, played by Andrew Garfield, as he tries to endure the pressure of life as an artist in New York City.

In addition to announcing tick, tick…BOOM! as the opening film, AFI president and CEO, Bob Gazzale, also confirmed that the Hollywood icon Julie Andrews is set to receive the AFI Life Achievement Award at this year’s edition of the festival.

“AFI Fest will remind the world the power of this art form to lift our spirits at a time we need it most. Opening with the imperative voice of Lin-Manuel Miranda and celebrating the joy that Julie Andrews has provided generations will set our sights on a brighter day—just like in the movies,” said Gazzale in a statement.

The opening night of the AFI Fest is set to take place at the historic TCL Chinese Theatre, and the festival will run through November 10-14.

But now we are getting the chance to see just how well he is behind a camera.

The Hamilton creator has signed on to direct his first feature film.

Lin-Manuel will take on Tick, Tick… Boom! which is based on the autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson who wrote Rent.

The production is a full-circle opportunity for Lin-Manuel who starred in a 2014 stage production of the musical which tells the story of an aspiring composer in New York City who is worried he made the wrong career choice.

Lin-Manuel — who is also set to produce the film — expressed excitement, saying, “Jonathan Larson’s captivating storytelling in Rent first taught me that musicals could be contemporary, true to life, and depict your own experiences. But it was Tick, Tick… Boom! that solidified that drive in me to hone my own voice as a playwright.”

We’re sure he won’t throw away his shot.
