The Weinstein Company hopes you’ll begin to fall in love with Begin Again after checking out this new trailer and film poster. The rock and roll comedy/drama teams up Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley with a real rock star, Adam Levine (from Maroon 5 and The Voice), for the latest offering from Once writer/director John Carney.
Coming to theaters on July 4, 2014, the cast also includes Hailee Steinfeld, Catherine Keener, James Corden, and CeeLo Green.
The Plot:
Begin Again is a soul-stirring comedy about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together. Gretta (Knightley) and her long-time boyfriend Dave (Levine) are college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for New York when he lands a deal with a major label. But the trappings of his new-found fame soon tempt Dave to stray, and a reeling, lovelorn Gretta is left on her own.
Her world takes a turn for the better when Dan (Ruffalo), a disgraced record-label exec, stumbles upon her performing on an East Village stage and is immediately captivated by her raw talent. From this chance encounter emerges an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration, set to the soundtrack of a summer in New York City.
