Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun stepped out in Los Angeles to promote their new film Love Me—a movie that’s basically Wall-E on steroids. The Oscar-nominated duo graced the red carpet at the DGA Theater Complex on Tuesday night (January 28), looking effortlessly cool while pretending they aren’t completely over answering the same five press questions all week.
Joining them were directors and writers Sam and Andy Zuchero, the masterminds behind this wildly ambitious movie, which dares to ask: What if your internet soulmate was literally a piece of floating space junk?
So, What’s This Movie Even About?
Buckle up, because this plot is a ride. Picture this: The human race is long gone (RIP us), and all that’s left are a lonely buoy and a satellite who, against all odds, find each other online. Yep, you read that right—this is a love story between two inanimate objects with WiFi.
As these two robo-sweethearts piece together what life was like when humans were still around making bad decisions, they start to figure out what love really means. It’s deep. It’s existential. It’s got Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun giving their best “robot but make it emotional” performances. Oh, and did we mention the film blends live-action, animatronics, classic animation, and game engines? Basically, it’s every kind of movie technique thrown into one, and somehow, it works.
When Can You Witness This Cinematic Magic?
Love Me hits theaters on Friday, January 31, so mark your calendars and prepare to cry over the romance of… space debris. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Kristen Stewart rocked Chanel at the event—because even at a movie about floating junk, she stays fashionable.
