Josh Boone makes his feature directorial debut this year with Stuck in Love, the comedy-drama with a brilliant cast led by Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly.
The film premiered out in Toronto last year, with the original title ‘Writers’, and is now due to come out in the States this summer. Millennium will be releasing Stuck in Love in cinemas across the Atlantic in June, and now Yahoo Movies have debuted a great new trailer for the film.
Three years past his divorce, veteran novelist Bill Borgens can’t stop obsessing over, let alone spying on, his ex-wife Erica, who ignominiously left him for another man. Even as his neighbor-with-benefits, Tricia tries to push him back into the dating pool, he remains blind to anyone else’s charms. Meanwhile, his fiercely independent collegiate daughter Samantha is publishing her first novel while recoiling at the very thought of first love with a diehard romantic; and his teen son Rusty is trying to find his voice, both as a fantasy writer and as the unexpected boyfriend of a dream girl with unsettlingly real problems. As each of these situations mounts into a tangled trio of romantic holiday crises, it brings the Borgens to surprising revelations about how endings become beginnings.
Starring alongside Kinnear and Connelly are rising young stars Lily Collins and Logan Lerman, as well as the ever-brilliant Kristen Bell.
Boone is directing from his own script, with the Emmy-nominated Judy Cairo (Crazy Heart, Elvis) producing.
Stuck in Love will be released in the US on June 14th, and it looks like it could well be a strong candidate in this year’s Independent Spirit Awards, particularly with Boone being a first-time filmmaker. No word yet on a US release date, but here’s to hoping it will arrive on our shares later in the year. For now, here’s the new trailer to give you an idea of what to expect, along with a new poster.
