Love is in the air in This Time Next Year, which is heading onto digital platforms this June. More on the film below.
It’s been a pretty good few months for fans of rom-coms. We’re still pretty amazed at just how well Anyone But You has done and we’re still now over Rye Lane’s emotional punch.
Now, Signature Entertainment has acquired the UK and Irish rights to Nick Moore’s rom-com This Time Next Year, as reported by Deadline. The film is written by Sophie Cousens, based on her own book and the film stars Sophie Cookson and Lucien Laviscount as the leads. John Hannah, Golda Rosheuvel, Monica Dolan, Mandip Gill and Anita Dobson also star.
Here’s the This Time Next Year trailer:
The film revolves around Minnie (Cookson) and Quinn (Laviscount), who discover they were born on the same day in the same hospital. Minnie firmly believes that Quinn stole the name her mother was going to give Minnie and this resulted in a lifetime of bad luck. But naturally, sparks fly between the two.
This Time Next Year (the book) was released in 2020 and quickly made its way to the New York Times Bestseller list. Filming for the film adaptation took place in Rome and London. Moore is known as the director behind Wild Child and more commonly as the editor of films like Love Actually and most recently, Red White and Royal Blue.
This Time Next Year is not heading to cinemas, but will be available on digital platforms from 3 June.
