And now there’s a new trailer to stoke our interest before the movie’s September 30 opening. “Only a few times in a generation does a film speak to youth in a lasting and powerful way and bely an optimistic message about the American Dream,” the voiceover contends. Presumably, this is one of those times. The free-spirited, Americana-filled trailer is set to Bruce Springsteen’s classic tune “Dream Baby Dream,” which seems fitting for a story of lost youth on a quest to achieve their own, perhaps flawed, versions of that elusive dream. _American Honey_ co-stars [Riley Keough](http://time.com/4277095/the-girlfriend-experiences-riley-keough-interview/?iid=sr-link1) and newcomer Sasha Lane as disaffected kids caught up in a traveling magazine sales band, and was directed by [_Wuthering Heights’s_ Andrea Arnold.](http://entertainment.time.com/2012/10/05/the-bold-the-beautiful-and-yes-occasionally-boring-new-wuthering-heights/?iid=sr-link1) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4455860/watch-shia-labeouf-american-honey-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4455860/watch-shia-labeouf-american-honey-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch Shia LaBeouf Go Rogue in New American Honey Trailer","datePublished":"2016-08-17T16:43:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:35.727Z","description":"A story of lost youth","url":"https://time.com/4455860/watch-shia-labeouf-american-honey-trailer/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4455860/watch-shia-labeouf-american-honey-trailer/","name":"Watch Shia LaBeouf Go Rogue in New American Honey Trailer"}}]}] ```
