Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun are about to serve us a love story for the ages—and by “ages,” we mean billions of years. Yes, that’s right: Love Me isn’t just a movie; it’s the Romeo and Juliet of a post-apocalyptic universe.
Kristen and Steven, both Oscar-nominated and undeniably fabulous, headline this wild romantic rollercoaster written and directed by sibling duo Sam and Andy Zuchero. These geniuses apparently woke up one day and said, “You know what? Let’s make a movie where a buoy and a satellite fall in love. And oh, let’s toss in some animatronics and game engines for good measure.”
The Plot: Move Over Shakespeare, There’s a New Tragic Romance in Town
Here’s the scoop: Earth is toast. Humanity? Long gone. But don’t worry—our heroes, a buoy and a satellite (yes, really), find each other in the vast, lonely universe. Swipe right for cosmic romance, baby! As these two inanimate objects get to know each other, they uncover what it truly means to be alive and in love, which, spoiler alert, is apparently a lot of existential chats and space puns.
If you’re wondering how Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun manage to bring emotional depth to characters who don’t technically have faces or voices…well, the trailer alone proves they can act the absolute stardust out of anything.
Groundbreaking Cinema Magic!
The Zuchero siblings didn’t hold back on the filmmaking flex here. The movie is a wild mashup of live-action drama, animatronic wizardry, classic animation, and video game tech. Basically, they threw every filmmaking tool into the blender, hit “cosmic smoothie,” and somehow created cinematic art.
Oh, and let’s not forget the promise of the longest-spanning love story ever told. Move over, The Notebook—we’ve got an intergalactic romance that spans billions of years and doesn’t even need a kiss in the rain.
When Can You Watch This Masterpiece?
Mark your calendars for January 31, because Love Me is coming to a theater near you. Get ready to laugh, cry, and question why you’re emotionally invested in a buoy and a satellite.
Bottom line: If you thought your love life was complicated, wait until you see two space objects figure out romance. Now go watch the trailer—you’ll thank us later.
