Award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater looks back at college in the 1980s in his new humorous film, “Everybody Wants Some.” The new movie is not a sequel to “Boyhood.” That 2014 Linklater film followed 12 years of a boy’s life as he grew to adulthood. “Everybody Wants Some” is a much lighter look at young adults. Two rules: No booze in this house. Number two, no girls upstairs in those bedrooms. Everybody Wants Some takes place over one weekend at a college in Texas. The year is 1980. A group of athletes, or jocks, gather at the school before classes start. They are there to attend baseball practice, and to party. Blake Jenner stars as Jake, a new player on the team. Quinton Johnson as Dale to Jake: You have not earned teammate status yet. Another Jock: Who are you? Blake Jenner as Jake: Oh, Jake...Bradford" Quinton Johnson as Dale: "Until you do, you are a nobody." Richard Linklater said this college comedy was based on his own college experience. This is such a unique time in your life, you know. You're away from home, all the freedom you're confronted with, to try to figure out who you are in the world.
