Son of Rambow trailer hits the web, movie coming in May

With all the hubbub around this year's Sundance, it's easy to forget that some of the most critically acclaimed films from Sundance 2007 still haven't made it to theaters, despite getting picked up by studios. The best example of this is Son of Rambow, the second film by the British director/producer team Hammer and Tongs, aka Garth Jennings and Nick Goldsmith. Despite a warm reception in festivals throughout 2007, the film seemed destined to be forgotten.

Luckily, though, the feature will finally see a release through Paramount Vantage later this year. While it's Hammer and Tongs' second feature, they in fact began working on it years ago and put the project on hold so they could shoot The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Check it out in high-definition here or see it below:

The film follows two children making their own film inspired by the original Rambo, as opposed to a review of the new Rambo like one of their peers. Son of Rambow hits U.S. theaters on May 2.
