So it's already May? Wow, that sure came out of nowhere. Well, with the summer creeping up on us, we also welcome the start of the summer movie season (YAY for some people, NAY for others). With a lot of films coming up, I will be looking at the ones that I am most excited about.
And just released today was the trailer (or see below) for the film One Day, starring Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway. They star as a would be couple who sleep together on the night of their college graduation. Their relationship is then revisited once a year for the next twenty years. To me it sounds like When Harry Met Sally meets A Lot Like Love- pretty much any film that deals with people in love pretending that they can just be "friends," which we all know as not being true.
The trailer looks cute, although nothing too extraordinary. Jim Sturgess has always been on my radar, ever since Across the Universe, and he made quite the impression after the "just okay" 21. I see him as a lower grade James McAvoy, and it seems like Hollywood has been treating him quite the same.
It will also be interesting to see whether Anne can truly pull off the accent. She supposedly handled it well in Becoming Jane, which I never got around seeing (and probably never will), but that film lost all the buzz it ever had soon after its release. Will audiences buy it this time around?
One Day is Lone Scherfig's follow up to the amazing An Education, which brought us the beginning of what looks like a great career from current "It" girl Carey Mulligan.
Speaking of "it" girls, Anne Hathaway has already had her "it" girl moment (many times over it feels), and with her role as Selina Kyle coming up in the near future (who knows when the new Batman will actually be ready, though I am already peeing my pants excited about what Nolan will do with this one), she seems to have some exciting projects coming up.
Sturgess, on the other hand, already had the epic The Way Back released last year (which I loved), and has another film with Kirsten Dunst called Upside Down that has already been completed (though I know nothing about it, only having first learned about it after taking a look at his IMDB page.)
PS--Anne Hathaway as butch? Not quite sure how I feel about that. But I do think these two looks good together--anyone smell off-camera romance?
The truth is, these type of films are usually cute, and usually one that women always fall in love with. And with Lone Scherfig at the helm, I definitely am eager to see if she can pull it off.
