Emilia Clarke goes from Khaleesi to comedy in the new trailer (via toofa)
The basic plot is that something is keeping Clarke's Kate from living her best life, or any kind of good life at all, and it's nothing external. As an elf at a Christmas store, she's supposed to represent all that is good and wondrous about the Christmas season, and yet there's a sadness hanging over her.
Enter Golding's Tom, who at first seems too good to be true. As she learns more about him, Kate even quips he should tattoo "Saint" on his forehead. But is he too good to be true, or is he hiding a secret as massive as the one Kate has been keeping? The film is directed by "Bridesmaids" helmer Paul Feig, who proved that women can be every bit as raucous and funny as men, and written by Thompson, who won an Oscar for her screenplay adaptation of "Sense and Sensibility."What that says is that this film has the pedigree underneath its script and behind the camera to transcend the trappings of the traditional romcom and become something truly powerful.
There are glimpses of that potential in this first look at the film, which is both charming and disarming in just three short minutes. There's a beauty to how it's filmed, a sweet innocence in the playful banter between the two leads and an underlying weight begging to add meaning and depth to everything.Got a story or a tip for us?
