Amazon Studios has set a release date for George Clooney’s latest directorial effort, The Tender Bar, starring Ben Affleck (Argo), Tye Sheridan (The Card Counter), Lily Rabe (The Undoing), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) and more.

The coming-of-age drama will hit L.A. and NY theaters in limited release on December 17, opening nationwide on December 22. The film will be available globally for streaming via Amazon Prime Video on January 7.

More from Deadline

Clooney’s follow-up to Netflix sci-fi pic The Midnight Sky is an adaptation of Pulitzer Prize winner J.R. Moehringer’s bestselling memoir of the same name, penned by Oscar winner William Monahan (The Departed, The Gambler).

It tells the story of J.R. (Sheridan), a boy growing up in Long Island who seeks out father figures among the patrons at his uncle Charlie’s (Affleck) bar. As his mother (Rabe) struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her—and to leave the rundown home of her father (Lloyd)—J.R. begins to pursue his romantic and professional dreams.

The film’s ensemble also includes Max Casella, Sondra James, Max Martini, Michael Braun, Matthew Delamater, Rhenzy Feliz, Ivan Leung, Briana Middleton and newcomer Daniel Ranieri.

Clooney and Grant Heslov produced the film through their company Smokehouse Pictures, alongside Ted Hope, with Moehringer and Barbara A. Hall serving as executive producers.

The Ballad of Hattie and James: this tale of a musical friendship gone wrong is note-perfect
We begin with a virtuosic pianist going viral after tinkling the ivories at St Pancras station. That might evoke Channel 4’s hit series The Piano, but Samuel Adamson’s new chamber piece is a rather different proposition. It follows the painful destruction of a friendship between two musical prodigies, Hattie and James, who reunite later in life – and provides a spellbinding showcase for the perfectly in-tune Sophie Thompson and Charles Edwards.
