Vertical today revealed the official trailer for the upcoming dark comedy drama, American Dreamer, premiering in select theaters and on demand March 8th, 2024.

The synopsis reads: “American Dreamer, based on a true story from Chicago Public Radio’s The American Life, is the story of Phil Loder (Dinklage), a twice divorced, frustrated, underpaid professor of economics, whose grand dream of home ownership is tragically out of reach. When an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes his way, Phil strikes a deal with Astrid Finnelli (MacLaine), a lonely, childless, near-death widow who offers her sprawling estate for pennies. But Phil quickly learns the deal is too good to be true and the American dream is not quite what it used to be.”
Theodore Melfi, Kim Quinn, Peter Dinklage, David Ginsberg, Toyo Shimano, and Paul Dektor serve as producers with Kevin Root as executive producer.
