Screen Gems Debuts Trailer for EASY A, the High School Comedy Starring Emma Stone (ZOMBIELAND)

Screen Gems has released the first full trailer for Easy A, a modern comedic take on the classic Nathaniel Hawthorne novel, The Scarlet Letter.  Emma Stone (Zombieland) stars as a high school girl who lies about her sexual exploits in an attempt to boost her reputation as well as her bank account. The impressive cast also includes Penn Badgley, Amanda Bynes, Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson, Lisa Kudrow, Malcolm McDowell, and Stanley Tucci.  Will Gluck (Fired Up!) directs from a script by relative newcomer Bert V. Royal.

Stone is a charming star, the cast should deliver (I liked Tucci’s line in the clip), and Gluck’s high school sex romp Fired Up! was reputed to be better than it needed to be.  All promising signs.  Check out the trailer for yourself after the jump.

Here’s the official plot synopsis:

After a little white lie about losing her virginity gets out, a clean cut high school girl (Emma Stone) sees her life paralleling Hester Prynnes in The Scarlet Letter, which she is currently studying in school until she decides to use the rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing.
