Shailene Woodley and Felicity Jones get to connect back after decades in The Last Letter From Your Lover trailer. The adaptation of Jojo Moyes’ novel will be ready to star on Netflix, July 23.
It’s time to rediscover the art of letter writing.
Netflix dropped the first trailer for upcoming romantic drama, The Last Letter From Your Lover. The film is adapted from the novel by the same name by Jojo Moyes (also famous for writing Me Before You). The upcoming dual-narrative drama stars Felicity Jones and Shailene Woodley and can be seen happening in two different eras, pacing the lives and loves of Woodley’s Jennifer Stirling, an American woman living in 1960s London and contemporary London journalist, Ellie Haworth (Jones). Even after decades, the two women’s lives are interconnected when Ellie stumbles across some heartbreakingly love letters addressed to Jennifer in the archives at the newspaper where she works.
The film is directed by Augustine Frizzell (Never Goin’ Back, Euphoria), The Last Letter From Your Lover also stars Callum Turner (Fantastic Beasts) as troubled journalist Anthony O’Hare and Joe Alwyn (The Favourite) as the frightfully well-to-do, yet cold Laurence Stirling. Woodley’s character, Jennifer is seen attracted to Anthony when he’s assigned to cover her husband, Laurence.
“You witness a woman’s journey in how she chooses to live her life,” Woodley previously told EW of the role. “You recognize the struggles that come with being a woman, specifically in that time era, making decisions for herself and choosing a path that perhaps isn’t the most well-worn, yet is the most fulfilling. There aren’t a lot of stories about women who do make decisions for themselves even though there are serious consequences and repercussions.”
Ellie (Jones) takes on a romance of her own when an endearing archivist (Nabhaan Rizwan) at the newspaper where she works helps her track down more letters between Anthony and Jennifer and discover the truth of what became of their love story.
The Last Letter From Your Lover will be ready to feature on Netflix, July 23. Watch the trailer above.
