Whiplash Feature International Trailer

Feature international trailer for Whiplash.

Andrew Neyman is an ambitious young jazz drummer, single-minded in his pursuit to rise to the top of his elite east coast music conservatory. Plagued by the failed writing career of his father, Andrew hungers day and night to become one of the greats. Terence Fletcher, an instructor equally known for his teaching talents as for his terrifying methods, leads the top jazz ensemble in the school. Fletcher discovers Andrew and transfers the aspiring drummer into his band, forever changing the young man’s life. Andrew’s passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into obsession, as his ruthless teacher continues to push him to the brink of both his ability—and his sanity.

While Miles Teller has to be stoked on this role, he tells W Magazine that he was "dead inside" before he landed the role.

"When I first read Whiplash, I was feeling dead inside," Teller confided, in a rare display of emotion. At that time, he was in Chicago shooting this past spring's Divergent. "I didn't have an interesting part, and I'd taken the film for business reasons: It was the first movie I'd done that was going to have an international audience. I called my agent and said, 'This sucks.'"
