Here’s a first look at Submarine, the feature film directorial debut from Richard Ayoade (Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh, Man to Man with Dean Learner, Nathan Barley, etc). The script was adapted by Ayoade from Joe Dunthorne’s 2008 coming of age novel about a teenage legend in his own mind.

This trailer looks great. I’m a big fan of Richard Ayoade’s smart comic talents and the reviews of Submarine have been stellar—The Telegraph called it “the most refreshing, urgent and original debut the British film industry has seen in years”—so I’m really looking forward to seeing it.

Richard Ayoade recently directed an upcoming episode of NBC’s Community.
