Emma Stone Sings in New "Audition" Teaser Trailer for LA LA LAND

One of the things that I love most about this La La Land movie is that it has the same feel and vibe as the films of classic Hollywood, only it's set in modern day. The movie comes from writer and director Damien Chazelle, who previously directed Whiplash, which is a favorite film of mine. If you haven't seen Whiplash yet, you should watch it because it will blow you away.  

La La Land stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, and this latest teaser trailer, which is called "Audition," features Stone singing a lovely song of the same name. This looks like it's going to be a delightfully elegant movie, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the story plays out.

The film tells the story of Mia (Stone), "an aspiring actress, and Sebastian (Gosling), a dedicated jazz musician, who are struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts. Set in modern day Los Angeles, this original musical about everyday life explores the joy and pain of pursuing your dreams."

Venice festival director Alberto Barbera had this to say about the film:

“La La Land is a surprising tribute to the golden age of American musicals, from An American in Paris by Vincent Minnelli to New York, New York by Martin Scorsese. It is a film that does not merely reinvent the musical genre, it gives it a brand new start. If Whiplash was the revelation of a new filmmaker, La La Landis his definitive, albeit precocious, consecration among the great directors of Hollywood’s new firmament.”

La La Land also stars J.K. SimmonsJohn LegendFinn WittrockSonoya Mizuno, and Rosemarie DeWitt. It will get a limited theatrical release on December 2nd and will then open wide on December 16th.
