Here's the Poster for Like Crazy

The Poster seems to have more going on than it appears to at first glance, and I like it...thoughts?

Behold the Trailer for the Sundance hit and Oscar hopeful Like Crazy!

Is this potentially the indie breakout of the year? Take a look and judge for yourself:
-Joey's Two Cents: It looks like a hybrid of (500) Days of Summer and Blue Valentine, and if it approaches the quality of either of those two phenomenal films, it'll be a major player. For now, it's a great looking trailer that hints at a rather moving story. I'm in...thoughts?

Felicity Jones will work again with her ‘Like Crazy’ helmer Drake Doremus...

...which, considering how strong the buzz on Like Crazy is, makes me excited for the film. Here's the story from The Playlist:

Sundance may be located in the middle-of-nowhere Utah, be a pain the ass to get to and be ridiculous expensive but there is a reason every budding filmmaker dreams of taking the journey—it can make (or break) your career. For Drake Doremus, he saw everything change with his low key long-distance romance tale “Like Crazy.” After directing three little seen features, Doremus soon found himself as the center of attention with the picture earning strong reviews, great buzz for the performances byAnton Yelchin and Felicity Jones and walked away from the festival with a distribution deal withParamount. And oh yeah, he also took home a Grand Jury Prize for his film as well. Not bad. Well, he’s riding that wave into his next effort and he’s lined up a solid cast to work with.

Jones will return to work with Doremus along Guy Pearce and Amy Ryan also signing on for his next, and currently untitled film. You see? That’s the awesome kind of casting Sundance buzz gets you. Penned by Doremus and Ben York, his collaborator on “Like Crazy,” details are being kept under wraps but the film will center on love and marriage. So maybe a spiritual sequel of sorts to “Like Crazy”? At any rate, Doremus is sticking with thematic material that has served him well already.

Indian Paintbrush, who partnered with Paramount in acquiring “Like Crazy,” are financing the film and it’s moving fast—it will start shooting next month. It looks like Doremus is too reveling in the good word surrounding his Sundance hit and is getting right back to work. No release date yet but we presume this will find its way to theaters sometimes next year.

As for “Like Crazy,” you can see if it deserved the hype when it opens on October 28th.
