After dropping the first teaser a few months ago,Netflixjust released a brand-new trailer for the upcoming movie, which is based on the autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson (who wrote the book and music forRent).

The trailer introduces viewers to the story line, which takes place in New York City and follows an aspiring composer (Andrew Garfield) who begins to question his career choice—so much so, that it’s driving him mad.

“I am 29 years old. I work at the Moondance Diner. I have an original rock musical that I've spent the last eight years of my life writing...and rewriting...and rewriting. And the time keeps ticking,” Garfield says in the trailer.

The movie features an all-star cast, including Garfield, Alexandra Shipp, Robin de Jesús, Joshua Henry, MJ Rodriguez, Bradley Whitford, Tariq Trotter, Judith Light and Vanessa Hudgens.
