Coastal elites, written by Paul Rudnick, was originally intended as a play for the public theater. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to take a different form: a movie, directed by Jay Roach.
The film tells the stories of five different people – all living in Los Angeles or New York City, hence the title – who are dealing with the pandemic in their own way. The star-studded cast includes Bette Midler, who plays a New York public school teacher who finds himself in custody (in the trailer, she speaks angrily about a certain red hat, which may give you some idea the reason why she is in police custody); Sarah Paulson as YouTuber; Issa Rae as a philanthropist whose work brought her in contact with unpopular political figures; Kaitlyn Dever as a nurse who travels from her home in Wyoming to New York City to help fight the pandemic; and Dan Levy as an actor under severe stress.
What sets the film apart from other films currently being released is that it was filmed entirely from a distance. If you’re curious about what remote production looks like, take a look at the new trailer.
Coastal elites Premieres on HBO Sept. 12 at 8 p.m.
