Clips for the upcoming 2008 film, “Assassination of a High School President” surfaced online a long time ago, but we haven’t posted about it yet. This could be due to the fact that the film’s trailer has yet to be released, or maybe, we just forgot about it. Four clips from the film are on Youtube and many other sites now and have been for a while now.
Based on the four clips, we can sum up that Reece Thompson (“Rocket Science”) is a new kid at a catholic high school who thinks that he is some hot-shit reporter. Some SAT tests go missing and he is hounded by the principal, played by Bruce Willis to find the missing tests. Taking a knack to the young reporter is a sexy senior, Mischa Barton (“The O.C.”) who urges the new kid to help her find the tests. Sexual tension rises between them until the tests are found and their friendship develops.
Apparently the film delves deeper after a possible conspiracy is unearthed once the tests are found that drives Funke (Thompson) up a wall. Thompson’s character comes off as somewhat of an ass without any real redeeming qualities, but this is based off of four minutes of clips. Willis looks as though he isn’t going to take any shit as the principal which is a good role for him.
