The election is looming, and it will finally put an end to one of the worst campaign cycles in recent memory. And fingers crossed, it seems like 2016 is going to end with some hope. You must’ve been made of stone if you weren’t moved by the Chicago Cubs anxiety inducing World Series win last night, finally breaking 108 years of losing tradition. And at the movies, there will be no better pick-me-up this holiday season than “La La Land,” and a great new trailer is here.
Starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, the musical from “Whiplash” director Damien Chazelle is a story about an aspiring musician and a would-be actress who become star-crossed lovers in Los Angeles. But it’s also about dreams, desire, and the thrum of romance that can both sting and inspire. Here’s the official synopsis:
Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Damien Chazelle, LA LA LAND tells the story of Mia [Emma Stone], an aspiring actress, and Sebastian [Ryan Gosling], a dedicated jazz musician, who are struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts. Set in modern day Los Angeles, this original musical about everyday life explores the joy and pain of pursuing your dreams.
“La La Land” screens at AFI Fest and opens on December 2nd.
