Deadline is reporting that the release of Me Before You has been moved up by a few months! Originally set to premiere on June 3rd, it will now hit theaters on March 4th. Me Before You is based on the book of the same name by Jojo Moyes, who also wrote the screenplay. Matt Lewis plays the character of Patrick in the film centered around Louisa and Will, played by Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin.
The story centers on Lou (Emilia Clarke), a small-town girl caught between dead-end jobs, and Will (Sam Claflin), a successful man who finds himself wheelchair-bound after an accident. He can find no reason to live, until they meet when he hires her as his caretaker, and she becomes determined to prove to him that life is worth living.
This is amazing! I just finished reading this book yesterday and it’s definitely one of my new favorites. Matt Lewis playing any role is great, but I really can’t wait to see if he can get me to see things from Patrick’s side, losing his girlfriend to her job after pushing her away for his. I can’t wait!
P.S. I love you Matt haha
