Charming Trailer for Meg Ryan and David Duchovny Romantic Comedy WHAT HAPPENS LATER
Meg Ryan direct and stars in a new romantic comedy film titled What Happens Later, and the first trailer for the film has been released. David Duchovny also stars opposite Ryan in the movie, which is based on Steven Dietz’s play Shooting Star.
The story centers on two old flames who run into each other after their flights get snowed in and they end up spending the night in an airport reliving the past.
The official synopsis reads: “Two ex lovers, Bill (Duchovny) and Willa (Ryan) get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. Indefinitely delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something more enchanted.”
Ryan talked about the film during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying: “It has a relationship to movies from the ’40s, like Bringing Up Baby, in terms of the banter and the rhythm of things and a lot of that era of filmmaking. Nora Ephron used to say about rom-coms that they were really a secretly incredible delivery system to comment on the times, and we do that in this movie.”
It’s great to see Meg Ryan in a movie again! I also love that she is starring alongside Duchovny. This looks like it’ll be an amusing and charming romcom.
What Happens Later will be released in theaters on October 13th.
