"Total Recall" actress Jessica Biel and "We're the Millers" actor Jason Sudeikis star alongside "Cyberbully" actress Maisie Williams in the upcoming comedy "The Book Of Love." They just got a brand new trailer!
According to Deadline, "The Book Of Love" follows Henry (Sudeikis), Penny (Biel), and a young girl Millie (Williams). The couple is coping up with a tragedy while Millie is constructing a raft to sail across the Atlantic to find her lost father.
In the plot of "The Book Of Love," Sudeikis plays an introverted, widowed architect who pursues an unlikely friendship with Millie to fulfill a promise he made to his late wife Penny, as Entertainment Weekly reported. He uses his expertise to help Millie with her mysterious goal of building a raft on which she plans to sail across the sea.
In the trailer of "The Book Of Love," the relationship of young Millie and Henry has far from an easy beginning, which appeared to have occurred while Penny was still alive. Penny makes Henry promise her to help Millle who has been fishing around in their trash. Henry confronts Millie after dark, and after she reproaches him from sneaking up on people, she reveals that she is building something.
As the trailer of "The Book Of Love" goes on, their relationship flourishes. Millie, at one point, asks Henry what Penny was like, to which he wistfully replies that she was a kind of wild. There are also glimpses of Henry's contentious relationship with his mother-in-law Julia ("Orange Is the New Black" actress Mary Steenburgen) and of the car crash that killed Penny.
"The Book Of Love" is directed by filmmaker Bill Purple. It is co-written by Bill and Robbie Pickering. It was produced by Michelle Purple, Chuck Pacheco, Mike Landry, and Carlos Velazquez, with all the music composed by Biel's real-life husband Justin Timberlake.
"The Book Of Love" made its world premiere at the Tribeca International Film Festival earlier this year under the former title "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," swinging through the Napa Valley Film Festival last month. It also stars "Sleepy Hollow" actor Orlando Jones, "Ocean's Eight" actor Richard Robichaux, and "Red Oaks" actor Paul Reiser.
Electric Entertainment will release "The Book Of Love" in theaters in a limited release stateside on Jan. 13, 2017.
