Shout Factory debuted the official trailer for Linoleum, the science fiction comedy film starring Jim Gaffigan as the host of a failing children’s science TV show who has aspirations of being an astronaut. Also starring in the movie are Rhea Seehorn, Katelyn Nacon, Gabriel Rush, Amy Hargreaves, Michael Ian Black, and Tony Shalhoub.

Directed by Colin West, Linoleum premiered at 2022 SXSW Film Festival and was the recipient of the Sloan Science on Screen Award at the 2022 SFFILM Festival; and will open in theaters on February 24, 2023.

Cameron Edwin (Jim Gaffigan), the host of a failing children’s science TV show called “Above & Beyond”, has always had aspirations of being an astronaut. After a mysterious space-race era satellite coincidentally falls from space and lands in his backyard, his midlife crisis manifests in a plan to rebuild the machine into his dream rocket. As his relationship with his wife (Rhea Seehorn) and daughter (Katelyn Nacon) start to strain, surreal events begin unfolding around him — a doppelgänger moving into the house next door, a car falling from the sky, and an unusual teenage boy forging a friendship with him. He slowly starts to piece these events together to ultimately reveal that there’s more to his life story than he once thought.

Watch the official trailer for Linoleum.
