Trailer for Steven Yeun and Kristen Stewart's Sci-Fi Romance Film LOVE ME
Bleecker Street has released the first trailer for the interesting and unique indie sci-fi romance film Love Me, which stars Steven Yeun and Kristen Stewart.
In the film, "Long after humanity’s extinction, a buoy and a satellite meet online and fall in love. As filmmakers Sam & Andy demonstrate in their wildly imaginative debut feature, telling the love story of a smart buoy and an orbiting satellite that spans a billion years and probes the mysteries of being and consciousness requires legit storytelling dexterity.
“Love Me’s whimsically philosophical, shape-shifting structure ingeniously weaves together the real, the virtual, and the surreal. Its star-crossed, web-paired metallic protagonists — inhabited in different forms by Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun — awkwardly navigate romance and companionship, equipped only with untold petabytes of archived web data, social media, and online videos."
The filmmaker explained: "We wanted to make a movie that would make you feel big and small at the same time... It's the story of two completely new beings — the A.I. in two machines — who evolve into virtual avatars and then into flesh & blood humans."
I saw the film at Sundance last year, and as I said in my review of the film: “ Love Me is a celebration of life, love, and the complexities of human emotions. It delves deep into the essence of being alive, exploring a range of feelings, from the joyful and exhilarating to the perplexing and challenging.
“The characters, embodied by Stewart and Yeun, take us on a heartwarming journey of personal exploration. They have awkward yet charming interactions and it allowed me to connect with their unique life experiences.”
The film comes from Sam and Andy Zuchero, and it will be released in theaters on January 31st, 2025.
