The first trailer has arrived for writer and director John Herzfeld 's ensemble comedy drama Reach Me, which has quickly drawn comparisons to Paul Haggis' Oscar winning Crash.

The film brings together plenty of stars and genres, with multiple overlapping storylines and characters. It also features quite a line-up of talent including Sylvester Stallone, Kyra Sedgwick, Thomas Jane, Kevin Connolly, Tom Berenger, Terry Crews, Danny Aiello, Nelly and Lauren Cohan.

Check out the first footage, which follows a group of people all linked by a self-help book published by reclusive football coach.

Reach Me is an uplifting ensemble comedy/drama about a dozen fractured characters whose lives intertwine and eventually collide as a result of a self-published motivational book and its anonymous author.
