Nick Jonas Experiences the Dark Side of Greek Life in Harrowing New Goat Trailer
Andrew Neel's upcoming fraternity hazing thriller Goat finds Nick Jonas in a role that is a far cry from his upbeat pop star persona. Based on the 2004 memoir of the same name, the film tells the story of Brad Land Ben Schnetzer, a 19-year-old college freshman intent on pledging Phi Sigma Mu  the same fraternity as his older brother Brett Jonas  only to find that the process is much darker than expected. In a new trailer released Wednesday by MTV, Brad and his fellow pledges find themselves repeatedly subjected to both violent and demoralizing hazing rituals  from forced drinking to physical abuse  as Brett struggles to reconcile himself with his brothers' treatment of his sibling. The movie also features a cameo by producer James Franco, who plays a Phi Sig alum unable to let go of his glory days. Watch the full trailer below.
