Two New Trailers for Romance 'Love, Rosie' starring Lily Collins and Sam Claflin

They say that the best marriages start out as friendships, but what if you've been friends for a lifetime? Can friendship be so easily set aside to make way for romance? Not in the Hollywood movies it can't, and the upcoming romance Love, Rosie we see what happens when longtime pals played by Lily Collins and Sam Claflin try to be something more.

Based on Celia Ahern's book, Where Rainbows End, the film follows childhood friends Rosie and Alex over the course of years as their bond is tested by tragedy, distance, and an unexpected pregnancy. These two new trailers are much the same as the first few and it looks positively sweet, charming, and a good showcase for two talented young stars. Both Collins and Claflin have been buried in YA franchises (The Mortal Instruments and The Hunger Games) but this looks like a better use of their talents.

Directed by Christian Ditter, Love, Rosie opens On Demand and in theaters on February 6th.

New Trailer and Poster for 'Love, Rosie' Starring Lily Collins and Sam Claflin

Ahhh, young love. Usually so hopeful and maybe a little naive, this year it's taken a turn for the weepy with The Fault In Our Stars and the upcoming Chloe Moretz drama, If I Stay. So where do audiences go who are looking for a romance that's sweet, silly, and with just a hint of emotional resonance? Christian Ditter's Love, Rosie may be the movie to look out for.

Starring YA darlings Lily Collins (The Mortal Instruments) and Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), the film is based on Celia Ahern's novel, Where Rainbows End, and follows longtime best friends Rosie and Alex as they make the leap into romance. Following their relationship over the course of years, we see the many hurdles, both comedic and tragic, that threaten to untie their bond. Does it look predictable and more than a little cheesy? Absolutely, but there's also something sweet and earnest about it that should appeal to an audience looking for exactly this sort of film.

Also starring Tamsin Egerton, Jaime Winstone, Suki Waterhouse, and Christian Cooke, Love, Rosie has yet to gain a release date but should open later this year.

First Trailers for Rom-Com 'Love, Rosie' Starring Lily Collins and Sam Claflin

A couple of months ago we had the film That Awkward Moment, about a bunch of guys who awkwardly fell in love when they weren't supposed to. And now we have a marketing campaign for the rom-com Love, Rosie, which wants you to plaster your most awkward moments all over Twitter where everyone can see them. Why? The answer is in the two new trailers for the film which stars Lily Collins and Sam Claflin.

Based on Cecelia Ahern's book, Where Rainbows End, the story follows the changing relationship between Rosie (Collins) and her best friend, Alex (Claflin). A random night of sex goes disastrously wrong, and gets kind of awkward, when the condom gets lost "up in there" and she gets pregnant. Oh, so that's why you should start tweeting embarrassing moments all over the place! The film charts everything that happens next and how it threatens to ruin their friendship and any chance at something more, although the central question does seem to be whether they were ever meant for more in the first place. The issues at play seem more serious than the cheeky attitude of these teasers, but maybe the full film gets edgier.

Directed by Christian Ditter, Love, Rosie has yet to gain a U.S. date.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 'To Walk the Clouds'; Lily Collins Learns 'How to Be Single'

* Last month we learned Joseph Gordon-Levitt was eying the lead role in Robert Zemeckis' 3D high-wire film, To Reach the Clouds, based on the book by famous tightrope walker, Philippe Petit. Now Deadline reports the deal is closed and Levitt will star as Petit, whose incredible 1974 high-wire walk between the World Trade Center towers was chronicled in James Marsh's documentary, Man on Wire. The new title of the film is To Walk the Clouds, and Zemeckis plans on filming this summer.

* It's been a busy day for Lily Collins. Earlier today she came aboard Warren Beatty's long-developing Howard Hughes biopic, and now she's in talks to star in How to Be Single, an adaptation of Liz Tuccillo's 2008 book. Directed by Christian Ditter (Collins' director on Love, Rosie) and produced by Drew Barrymore, the story centers on a New York publicist whose response to a night out with her girlfriends is to pack up and travel the world looking for other ways women are handling being single. Through seeing the world, she falls in love, suffers heartbreak, all while her friends are back home dealing with other issues. [Variety]
