Like moths to an eternal flame the great and good of Hollywood seem to orbit romantic comedies in an endless cycle and Morning Glory has bagged Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton to lead.
However, behind the gloss there’s a great combination of writer and director, The Devil Wears Prada’s Aline Brosh McKenna and Notting Hill’s Roger Michell respectively so decent things are expected. Plus there’s Jeff Goldblum in a similar supporting turn to his role the Aniston/Bateman film The Switch, and Rachel McAdams smiling a lot, which is nice.
We’ve seen a similar trailer before but there’s more to enjoy in the new trailer, which you can see below.
Right, all we need now before the trailer is a long synopsis to pour over.
When hard-working TV producer Becky Fuller (McAdams) is fired from a local news program, her career begins to look as bleak as her hapless love life. Stumbling into a job at “Daybreak” (the last-place national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy (Ford).
Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts – let alone work with his new co-host, Colleen Peck (Keaton), a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality who is more than happy covering morning “news.” As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and then on the air, Becky’s blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett (Wilson) begins to unravel and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.
Blimey. Here’s the trailer.
