Quaid & Efron Square Off In "At Any Price" Peek

The trailer for the drama  "At Any Price" is here.

The story folows Henry Whipple (Dennis Quaid) is an Iowa farmer with all the grace of a used car salesman. He owns farmland in seven counties, and is so hungry for more that he’ll crash a funeral just to get a shot at 800 acres. His son Dean (Zac Efron) has no interest in continuing the family business, and instead  sets his sights on becoming a NASCAR driver. The strained relationship runs throughout the Whipple family: Henry’s other son, Grant, is too busy mountain climbing in Argentina to come back and work the farm, and Henry is cheating on his wife Irene (Kim Dickens) with another woman (Heather Graham) Henry’s only loyalty is to his customer, and all other relationships are negotiable, including a legal one regarding his business.

The film is directed by Ramin Bahrani from a script he co-wrote with Hallie Elizabeth Newton,

Pamela KofflerJustin Nappi Teddy Schwarzman Kevin Turen Brian Young Christine Vachon and Bahrani produced the film.

The film was part of last year'sToronto International Film Festival and I must admit it looks pretty good. It might just have that extra "something" that most drama pics don't seem to have--can't quite figure out what that is yet. My gut just says this is gonna be good. Quaid rarely disappoints. For Efron--It's nice to see him contine to take another great "Adult" role to test his chops

 The pic is set to hit theaters on April 26th.
