THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR - Official Trailer

All we have is a single day. Don’t miss Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton in #TheSunIsAlsoAStar, only in theaters May 17.


“What if I told you I could get you to fall in love with me…?”

College-bound romantic Daniel Bae and Jamaica-born pragmatist Natasha Kingsley meet—and fall for each other—over one magical day amidst the fervor and flurry of New York City. Sparks immediately fly between these two strangers, who might never have met had fate not given them a little push. But will fate be enough to take these teens from star-crossed to lucky in love? With just hours left on the clock in what looks to be her last day in the U.S., Natasha is fighting against her family’s deportation as fiercely as she’s fighting her budding feelings for Daniel, who is working just as hard to convince her they are destined to be together.

A modern-day story about finding love against all odds, “The Sun Is Also a Star” explores whether our lives are determined by fate or the random events of the universe.

The film stars Yara Shahidi (“Grown-ish”) as Natasha and Charles Melton (“Riverdale”) as Daniel, along with John Leguizamo (“John Wick: Chapter 2”).

Directed by Ry Russo-Young (“Before I Fall”), the film is based on the acclaimed bestseller by Everything, Everything author Nicola Yoon. The Sun Is Also a Star was #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and has received multiple accolades, including: 2016 National Book Award Finalist; Amazon’s Best Book of 2016 in YA; Amazon’s Top 20 Children’s Books of 2016 in YA; the New York Times Notable Children’s Books of 2016; and Entertainment Weekly’s 10 Best Books of 2016.

Russo-Young directed from a screenplay by Tracy Oliver (“Girls Trip”). The film’s producers are Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton, who served as producers on “Everything, Everything.” Pamela Hirsch served as executive producer.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Autumn Durald Arkapaw (“Teen Spirit”), production designer Wynn Thomas (“Hidden Figures”), editor Joe Landauer (“Before I Fall”), and costume designer Deirdra Elizabeth Govan (“Sorry to Bother You”). The music is by Herdís Stefánsdóttir (“The Hate U Give”).

Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures present An Alloy Entertainment production, “The Sun Is Also a Star,” due in theaters nationwide May 17, 2019.

This film has been rated PG-13 for some suggestive content and language.

“We are just ordinary people” starring two incredibly handsome people

[zoniaroland]

Someone said he looked like beautiful squidward and now I can’t unsee it 😂

[stevocanuck]

nice to see charles move on to something big besides riverdale

[icharlene]

The thing that annoyed me the most about this movie is that they took away the relationships and connections they make with other people and how they're all connected in some sort of way. The lady in the beginning of the book, the lawyer and etc. Her relationship with her dad is a big deal in the book but we never saw that. They're more to it than them just falling in love and that's why I love the book so much but they never showed that in the movie.

[endiya.]

she looks like the real-life version of the girl from the animated movie Home.

[tterminator]

I can see the sequel now: THE EARTH IS ALSO A PLANET.

[maremalvine]

The fact that the *PINK* headphones and the *RED* tie was a big part of the book but they still couldn't do it 🤦‍♀️

[lexi]

Red tie and pink headphones and a pony tail..the true ingredients of the movie!! Hello??

[ATLTommy]

Wow, a person who doesn’t believe in love, ends up falling inlove, 10/10 for creative writing

[ScarlettJ]

"Ohhh I'm waiting for something, but not for an apology" 😂

[hopegood]

Damn he made me fall in love with him in 2 minutes

(Edit thx for the likes💛)

[lucierc]

Just me but I wish the headphones were pink like in the book.

[thestorywasbetterinmyhead]

I feel like whoever wrote this movie, read the book years ago and wrote the movie based on how they remembered it

To all those wondering why people have a problem with the casting of this movie:

On the surface it may seem that the people complaining are doing way too much and overly concerned with race but it’s more nuanced than that. Hollywood has a history of whitewashing characters of color that are written as black or Asian (as these characters were). Colorism, or the preference for mixed and lighter skinned people over those with darker skin is also a huge issue. The fact that in a story written about a fully Korean man and black Jamaican woman they found two actors that are half white is very telling that Hollywood still has a problem seeing people of color as attractive unless they’re mixed with white. It’s so rare to see fully Asian men and darker skinned black women in movies, let alone as romantic partners- so yes, the casting directors really dropped the ball on a great opportunity and gave us more of the same

[t.h]

it's supposed to be a RED tie, not PLAID!

[bia-yrvq]

Cole = Five Feet Apart
Lili = The hustlers
KJ Apa = The last summer
Camila = The perfect date
Charles = The sun is also a star

The Riverdale cast is separating to make their own movies lmao😂
*mostly romance*

[Msf]

I feel like this gave away the entire movie just me ?

[adamcab]

*Accidentally clicks video *
*scrolls through comments *
*comments * —
THE! TIE WAS! REDD! AND! THE HEADPHONES! WEREE! PINK!

[MrNotThatFamous]

"i dont believe in love" lol

[zelly]

things that the movie got wrong:

They don’t meet when he saved her from being ran over, they meet in a record shop

The headphones are pink, not grey

The tie is red, they only changed to plaid for that shitty joke

They talk about his poetry in the coffee shop and have a moment

Daniels lack of ponytail has upset nearly everyone

Movie looks okay but this is borderline Maze Runner inaccuracy
