Video: First Official Me Before You Trailer

The first official trailer for Me Before You has been released by Warner Bros. While we don’t see Matt in the trailer, it definitely shows the film is going to be true to the book. Which was to be expected since author Jojo Moyes also wrote the screenplay. The film will be released on June 3rd. Make sure to like the film’s Official Facebook page!

Often times you find love where you least expect it. Sometimes it takes you where you never expected to go…

Louisa “Lou” Clark (Clarke) lives in a quaint town in the English countryside. With no clear direction in her life, the quirky and creative 26-year-old goes from one job to the next in order to help her tight-knit family make ends meet.

Her normally cheery outlook is put to the test, however, when she faces her newest career challenge. Taking a job at the local “castle,” she becomes caregiver and companion to Will Traynor (Claflin), a wealthy young banker who became wheelchair bound in an accident two years prior, and whose whole world changed dramatically in the blink of an eye. No longer the adventurous soul he once was, the now cynical Will has all but given up. That is until Lou determines to show him that life is worth living. Embarking together on a series of adventures, both Lou and Will get more than they bargained for, and find their lives—and hearts—changing in ways neither one could have imagined.

Matthew Lewis Talks Alan Rickman in New Radio Interview

In a new interview with Radio X, Matthew discusses the impact the late Alan Rickman had on his career. As most fans will know by now, the world lost Alan Rickman to cancer on January 14th. Fans and fellow cast members alike voiced their sadness on the loss. Matthew shared his feelings in an Instagram post on Friday morning.

While speaking to Radio X he said:

Alan for me was a real inspiration. My whole life growing up with him on television and then being given the opportunity to work with him for that amount of time… It’s hard to describe really. It was pretty special. He was a unique and one-of-a-kind actor, who on set was a pleasure to be around. I have so many fond memories of tripping him up with his cape, I used to stand on his cape all the time and he used to give me the darkest look ever.”

I just remember him being so lovely and so brilliant, but so incredibly intimidating when he was in the costume as Snape. Stalking the corridors of Leavesden Studios with his big robes flapping behind him every time he went around a corner. No one could leave a room like Alan when he’d swing his robes and storm out of the room.

On his last day (shooting Harry Potter) I went into his trailer and knocked on the door to say ‘thanks,’ basically for ten years, and he said ‘come in and have a cup of tea’ and we sat there for half an hour. He told me to do some theatre, which I went away and did, and the stuff he said to me in that half hour in the trailer, I really took on board and tried to adopt a lot of it. I don’t think my career would have carried on to the level it has done if I hadn’t had that opportunity, so I owe him a great deal.

He was such a chameleon. He just inhabited so many roles so vividly. Mine was definitely Hans Gruber, that is just incredible. But I did watch Prince of Thieves recently.
