The trailer introduces audiences to Morgan Grant (Allison Williams) and her daughter, Clara Grant (McKenna Grace). The author of It Ends With Us, Colleen Hoover, is bringing back her bestselling novel of 2019, Regretting You, to life. The upcoming romantic drama promises a heart-wrenching storyline. Recently, the makers released the trailer of Regretting You, providing the first official insight into the movie, which features Allison Williams and McKenna Grace as a mother-daughter duo. On Tuesday, the first trailer of Regretting You was dropped on the official channel of Paramount Pictures on YouTube. Directed by Josh Boone, known for the 2014 movie The Fault in Our Stars, the upcoming romantic drama introduces audiences to Morgan Grant (Allison Williams) and her daughter Clara Grant (McKenna Grace). The duo can be seen exploring their lives after facing a devastating loss in an accident. Trailer Of Regretting You The caption alongside the trailer of the movie reads, 'When life pulls you down, love lifts you up." The 2-minute 32-second video gives a sneak peek into the storyline featuring the shocking betrayal and forces between the mother-daughter duo of the film, which leads them to confront family secrets, redefine love, and rediscover each other. The caption further mentions, 'REGRETTING YOU is a story of growth, resilience, and self-discovery in the aftermath of tragedy." The film opens in the theatres on October 24. It also stars Scott Eastwood (as Chris Grant, Morgan's husband and Clara's father), Dave Franco (as Jonah Sullivan, Morgan's love interest after her husband's tragic accident), Mason Thames (as Miller Adams, Clara's love interest), and Willa Fitzgerald (as Jenny Davidson, Morgan's sister). Dave Franco Opens Up About His Regretting You Character Previously, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dave Franco described his character in the romantic drama as 'pretty pure-hearted and to a fault sometimes," adding, 'He is always trying to do the right thing, even if it goes against what his heart is telling him. I usually play either villains or very morally corrupt characters… but it's nice to play a character that is hopefully a little bit closer to who I am in real life." He continued, 'That's been really, really fun — to not start in a place where I feel like I've dug a hole for myself… I can now start in a good place where audiences will hopefully be on board with me from the get-go." Allison Williams Quips On Her Emotional Role In Regretting You In the same conversation, Allison Williams also reflected on her role. 'My whole nervous system and my tear ducts really need the levity. As you may see in this scene, in every scene, I cannot resist the urge to punctuate these scenes with improv that can never end up in the movie because it's a PG-13 movie, and I swear like a sailor. Given that my only formal training is improv comedy, it's just sort of the crutch I rely on every once in a while," she said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
