Consider me very intrigued by the trailer for Saban Films’Happily, a dark romantic comedy starringJoel McHale(Community)andKerry Bishé(Halt and Catch Fire). The new film comes fromBenDavid Grabinski(Are You Afraid of the Dark?), who directs from a script he also wrote. This twisted comedy, which countsJack Blackas a producer, was originally set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2020 but is finally coming our way in March. With chops like this and a killer trailer to boot, you may want to set a reminder to check outHappilythe second it’s released.
There’s is a lot to love about the trailer forHappily. McHale and Bishé lead the cast as Tom and Janet, a happily married couple who just can’t get enough of each other. Seriously. Be it constant PDA and regular, daily hook-up sessions, Tom and Janet are madly in love with one another. In fact, while they’re busy being hot for each other, their friends are getting hot and bothered over the way they show their affection. Something has to be done and, as theHappilytrailer reveals, it seems Tom and Janet’s friends are willing to go to all kinds of lengths to rein this affectionate couple in. But, as Tom and Janet begin to suspect that something isn’t right, they begin to question the solidarity of their relationship.
