Emilia Clarke’s New Drama ME BEFORE YOU Gets Trailer

Following the massive success of GAME OF THRONES, it was inevitable that actress Emilia Clarke (best known for portraying Daenerys Targaryen in the series) would begin making her rounds in Hollywood in a variety of genres. Unfortunately, TERMINATOR: GENISYS didn’t really turn out too well, and the film’s sequels have been put on hold until further notice. Though in addition to booking within the genre of action films, Clarke has also turned to making more low-key, emotional flicks like ME BEFORE YOU.

Check out the trailer for the drama below:

Based on the critically acclaimed, bestselling novel by Jojo Moyes, New Line Cinema’s and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ ME BEFORE YOU stars Emilia Clarke (GAME OF THRONES) and Sam Claflin (THE HUNGER GAMES series), under the direction of Thea Sharrock, making her feature film directorial debut. 

Oftentimes you find love where you least expect it.  Sometimes it takes you where you never expected to go…

Louisa “Lou” Clark (Clarke) lives in a quaint town in the English countryside.  With no clear direction in her life, the quirky and creative 26-year-old goes from one job to the next in order to help her tight-knit family make ends meet.   Her normally cheery outlook is put to the test, however, when she faces her newest career challenge.  Taking a job at the local “castle,” she becomes caregiver and companion to Will Traynor (Claflin), a wealthy young banker who became wheelchair bound in an accident two years prior, and whose whole world changed dramatically in the blink of an eye.  No longer the adventurous soul he once was, the now cynical Will has all but given up.  That is until Lou determines to show him that life is worth living.  Embarking together on a series of adventures, both Lou and Will get more than they bargained for, and find their lives—and hearts—changing in ways neither one could have imagined.
 
The film also stars Charles Dance (THE IMITATION GAME), Jenna Coleman (DOCTOR WHO), Matthew Lewis (the HARRY POTTER films), Vanessa Kirby (ABOUT TIME), Stephen Peacocke (HERCULES), Brendan Coyle (DOWNTON ABBEY) and Oscar nominee Janet McTeer (ALBERT NOBBS, TUMBLEWEEDS).

Sharrock directs from a screenplay by Jojo Moyes and Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber (THE FAULT IN OUR STARS), based on the book by Moyes.  The film is being produced by Karen Rosenfelt (THE TWILIGHT SAGA films, upcoming MAX) and Alison Owen (SAVING MR. BANKS, SUFFRAGETTE), and executive produced by Sue Baden-Powell (ELYSIUM, upcoming PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES).

ME BEFORE YOU is a presentation of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.  Set for release on June 3, 2016, it will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.
