Sony Pictures Classics has released a brand new trailer for the upcoming film KILL YOUR DARLINGS.

Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHaan, Ben Foster, Michael C. Hall, Jack Huston, Jennifer Jason Leigh & Elizabeth Olsen and directed by John Krokidas, the film will hit theaters on October 16, 2013.

KILL YOUR DARLINGS is the previously untold story of murder that brought together a young Allen Ginsberg (Daniel Radcliffe), Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and William Burroughs (Ben Foster) at Columbia University in 1944, providing the spark that would lead to their Beat Revolution. This is the true story of friendship and murder that led to the birth of an entire generation.

”It’s really Ginsberg’s coming of age,” notes director John Krokidas. ”He showed up at Columbia, 17 years old, the dutiful son of his parents—a failed working class poet and an emotionally ill mother whom he took care of. He came to school thinking maybe he wanted to study labor law, until he met a young man named Lucien Carr who put an idea in his head that he should be a writer, and that they were going to start a cultural revolution called ’The New Vision‘ which was going to change society. So what really resonated for me, thematically, was this idea of being 18 or 19 years old, leaving the nest for the first time and trying to find your own voice, and feeling that you could do something important with your life, that you could change the world, and really make a  difference. And then of course, the end of the story being—they actually did.”
