"Holy Rollers" stars Jesse Eisenberg as Sam Gold, a young Hasidic Jew who lives in Brooklyn and deals Ecstasy. The film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, was just picked up for distribution by Independent Pictures and should be rolling into movie theaters this summer.

The movie is based on the true story of a group of young Hasidic Jews who began smuggling Ecstasy between Amsterdam and New York.

The story follows Sam from his beginnings as a frustrated young man who chafes against the constraints of his religion and feels angry about his father's poor business decisions, to a successful drug dealer who must eventually reconcile his path in life with his core beliefs.

Justin Bartha, who starred as Doug in "The Hangover," plays Sam's friend Yosef Zimmerman, and Ari Graynor from "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" also appears.

Fans of Eisenberg's other projects, like "Adventureland" or "Zombieland" will likely appreciate another strong performance from this up-and-coming actor.

The film, which was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, was helmed by Kevin Asch who has also worked on "The Breakup Artist" and "You Can Count on Me."ADNFCR-2673-ID-19633039-ADNFCR
