Here's a new and even better trailer for Like Crazy!

Take a gander:
-Joey's Two Cents: The choice of song in the trailer is excellent in my opinion, and seems to fit the mood of the piece perfectly...I can't wait. Thoughts?

Behold the Trailer for the Sundance hit and Oscar hopeful Like Crazy!

Is this potentially the indie breakout of the year? Take a look and judge for yourself:
-Joey's Two Cents: It looks like a hybrid of (500) Days of Summer and Blue Valentine, and if it approaches the quality of either of those two phenomenal films, it'll be a major player. For now, it's a great looking trailer that hints at a rather moving story. I'm in...thoughts?

Felicity Jones will work again with her ‘Like Crazy’ helmer Drake Doremus...

...which, considering how strong the buzz on Like Crazy is, makes me excited for the film. Here's the story from The Playlist:

Sundance may be located in the middle-of-nowhere Utah, be a pain the ass to get to and be ridiculous expensive but there is a reason every budding filmmaker dreams of taking the journey—it can make (or break) your career. For Drake Doremus, he saw everything change with his low key long-distance romance tale “Like Crazy.” After directing three little seen features, Doremus soon found himself as the center of attention with the picture earning strong reviews, great buzz for the performances byAnton Yelchin and Felicity Jones and walked away from the festival with a distribution deal withParamount. And oh yeah, he also took home a Grand Jury Prize for his film as well. Not bad. Well, he’s riding that wave into his next effort and he’s lined up a solid cast to work with.

Jones will return to work with Doremus along Guy Pearce and Amy Ryan also signing on for his next, and currently untitled film. You see? That’s the awesome kind of casting Sundance buzz gets you. Penned by Doremus and Ben York, his collaborator on “Like Crazy,” details are being kept under wraps but the film will center on love and marriage. So maybe a spiritual sequel of sorts to “Like Crazy”? At any rate, Doremus is sticking with thematic material that has served him well already.

Indian Paintbrush, who partnered with Paramount in acquiring “Like Crazy,” are financing the film and it’s moving fast—it will start shooting next month. It looks like Doremus is too reveling in the good word surrounding his Sundance hit and is getting right back to work. No release date yet but we presume this will find its way to theaters sometimes next year.

Paramount Vantage sets a release date for the Sundance hit Like Crazy!

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Paramount Vantage has officially scheduled a release date for Sundance winner Like Crazy.

The well-received Like Crazy, which stars Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones and Jennifer Lawrence, will be in limited release Friday, Oct. 28.

Jones was awarded a special jury award for acting at Sundance for her performance. The 21-year-old Yelchin said in an interview with THR at Sundance that the improvisation done in the film was "magical."

The romantic drama, which won the grand jury prize for U.S. dramatic film at this year’s festival, revolves around two college students -- one American (Yelchin) and the other British (Jones) -- who meet in Los Angeles and fall in love. It was the first film to be bought during the Park City-set fest, with Paramount and Indian Paintbrush paying $4 million to release the Drake Doremus-directed film worldwide.

-Joey's Two Cents: I've targeted this to be potentially this year's 'An Education' or 'Blue Valentine', so expectations are high on my part...thoughts?
