In the new British indie comedy "Alright Now," Cobie Smulders stars as a washed-up '90s rock star who has decided to give college a try after her band suddenly breaks up.

The former "How I Met Your Mother" star, perhaps best known to Marvel fans as Agent Maria Hill in the "Avengers" films, leads a cast of mostly British TV actors that includes Richard Elis (EastEnders), Jessica Hynes (Spaced), Noel Clarke (Doctor Who), and Daisy Haggard (Episodes).

The film, which is known internationally as "Songbird," was completely improvised and directed by English filmmaker Jamie Adams, whose credits include the critically acclaimed British indie films "Wild Honey Pie" and "Black Mountain Poets."

Acquired by Gravitas Ventures, "Alright Now" is set to be released in select U.S. theaters and on VOD beginning September 7th. In the meantime, you can check out the newly-released trailer, above.
