Nick
Jonas shares an exclusive look at Goat, Andrew Neel's ("King Kelly")
latest film based on a memoir by Brad Land.
Goat
tells the story of two brothers who pledge the same fraternity and the hazing
that tests their loyalty to each other in brutal ways, all in the name of
‘brotherhood.'
Also
starring James Franco, Ben Schnetzer, Virginia Gardner, Jake Picking, Danny
Flaherty, and Kevin Crowley, Goat opens in theaters on September 23.
Reeling from a terrifying assault over the summer,
19-year-old Brad Land (Ben Schnetzer) starts college determined to get his life
back to normal. His brother, Brett (Nick Jonas), is already established on
campus and with a fraternity that allures Brad with its promise of protection,
popularity, and life-long friendships. Brad is desperate to belong but as he
sets out to join the fraternity his brother exhibits reservations, a sentiment
that threatens to divide them. As the pledging ritual moves into hell week, a
rite that promises to usher these unproven boys into manhood, the stakes
violently increase with a series of torturous and humiliating events.
What occurs in the name of ‘brotherhood’ tests both boys and their relationship
in brutal ways.
Directed by Andrew Neel (King Kelly, Darkon ),
co-written by Neel, David Gordon Green and Mike Roberts, based on the acclaimed
memoir by Brad Land, GOAT provides a searing portrayal of
masculinity, violence and brotherhood. The film is produced by Killer Films’
Christine Vachon and David Hinojosa with Rabbit Bandini’s James Franco and
Vince Jolivette.
