Sensitive American boy meets adorable British bird at college in Los Angeles. Boy, played by Anton Yelchin, and girl, played by Felicity Jones, promptly fall in the kind of desperate, life-defining love that is almost guaranteed to end horribly. When the girl overstays her Visa and is given the incontrovertible boat from These United States, neither lover can let go. That's Like Crazy, which premiered to much acclaim at Sundance this year and has a wide theatrical release on the way. The first trailer dropped today, and while the audio on all the dialogue could use a little cleaning up, the melancholic cover of Elvis Presley's "Fools Rush In" will leave little doubt that you should be feeling pretty sad.
UPDATE: Yesterday's trailer contained some sound issues, but this new version features corrected dialogue for your enjoyment.
While it's clearly Yelchin and Jones' show here, the cast also includes Oscar nominee and Yelchin's The Beaver co-star Jennifer Lawrence, along with Alex Kingston, Charlie Bewley, Finola Hughes,Ben York Jones, and the always-welcome Chris Messina.
Ben York Jones co-wrote the script with director Drake Doremus. The actor and director previously worked together on Douchebag and Spooner.
It can't all be superhero reboots and sequels, folks. Like Crazy is scheduled to hit theaters on October 28th, just when autumn will be inspiring proper depression anyways.
