Robert De Niro and Paul Dano have finally been brought together on the silver screen for the upcoming film, Being Flynn.

Based on the Nick Flynn book Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, Being Flynn tells the tale of a boy and his absentee father (who also happens to be a famous writer). From the looks of the trailer, which you can view after the jump alongside the full synopsis, this one is going to be an emotional rollercoaster you won’t soon forget.

Watch the preview below and let us know if you’re planning to see Being Flynn when it opens in theaters in Spring 2012.

The plot: Adapted from Nick Flynn’s 2004 memoir Another Bulls-t Night in Suck City, the new dramatic feature from Academy Award-nominated writer/director Paul Weitz tells the story of a young writer, Nick (portrayed by Paul Dano), who takes a job at a homeless shelter – where one night he discovers his long-absent father Jonathan (two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro) seeking a bed. Julianne Moore portrays the writer’s mother Jody; and Olivia Thirlby portrays Denise, a worker at the shelter.
