Their third team up after Crazy, Stupid, Love and Gangster Squad, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling take the lead in La La Land, director David Chazelle’s highly anticipated follow-up to Whiplash. A contemporary musical which tells the love story between struggling actress Mia (Stone) and jazz musician Sebastian (Gosling) set against the backdrop of the City of Angels. The first trailer is here, giving us a look at this ambitious throwback to musicals of old, as well as showcasing the first single from the film, City of Stars, snag by Gosling himself.
While it’s certainly a change of pace from Whiplash, La La Land looks utterly fantastic, echoing the lush colours and imagery from the numerous classics starring the likes of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, all the while feeling refreshingly modern.
Released: 16th December (U.S.)/13th January 2017 (IRL/U.K.)
