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, in cinemas from May 16.

"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 (“Black-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,” in cinemas from May 16.

This looks interesting, and I'm more likely to watch it than not, but here goes Hollywood's bullshit casting AGAIN. I love Yara. And if they want Yara, cast Yara--but also cast people who look like they would realistically be her parents. This happened in The Hate U Give too; they cast a biracial black girl in a fully black family. Everyone else, parents and siblings, are dark-skinned or medium toned black people with tight curls and then you have this lighter skinned girl with a looser curl pattern who looks different from the rest of her family. Aren't there any dark-skinned girls in Hollywood? Or maybe just cast people that resemble your lead actress? I mean, goddamn.

Ok, rant over.

This looks cute.

Bruh AGAIN??? Why not the girl who plays Josie on Riverdale??? Or someone like her?? I love Yara, but this shouldve been given to someone else (i.e darkskin, curly hair)

What is the name of the song he sings during KARAOKE?!
While I was watching the trailer my coworker started tearing up because he remembers it from his time in Vietnam.
