Trailer for Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish's Upcoming Dramedy HERE TODAY

The first trailer has been released for Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish’s new film Here Today. Not only does Crystal star in the film, but he also directed it and co-wrote it with his fellow Saturday Night Live alum and Emmy-award winning writer Alan Zweibe. This will make Crystal’s eighth time directing a movie.

I’m a huge fan of Crystal and his work, so it’s great to see that he’s got another film coming! The movie is inspired by the short story “The Prize,” which was also written by Zweibel.

Here Today follows veteran comedy writer Charlie Burnz (Crystal), “who is going through a tough time in his life. He meets New York singer Emma Payge (Haddish) and they form an unlikely yet hilarious and touching friendship that kicks the generation gap aside and redefines the meaning of love and trust.”

Crystal previously said of the film, “I am thrilled that Here Today will be in theaters with real people soon. It was a joy to write with my dear friend Alan Zweibel. To get to act with and direct the hilarious Tiffany Haddish and our fantastic cast was a blessing. I haven’t been this excited since I got my second Moderna vaccine.“

Producer Fred Bernstein added, “Here Today portrays an unforgettable friendship between two highly-unlikely characters who could not be more different. The on-screen relationship between Billy and Tiffany is achingly funny and incredibly profound. They remind us that the bonds of friendship and family can help us get through almost anything. We could not be more proud to present Billy’s telling of this story so vividly brought to life through the incredible performances of this talented cast.”

Here Today also stars Penn Badgley (You), Laura Benanti (Younger), Louisa Krause (Billions), Anna Deavere Smith (Black-ish), and Nyambi Nyambi (The Good Fight). The movie will be released on May 7th.
