It has a lot of heart and very real characters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch the film\u2019s trailer here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t-z4j5cxAcw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of those characters is Rob Burns, a music journalist who falls in love with the unknown woman who has been sending romantic messages to his work cell phone number \u2013 without knowing that the number, which used to belong to her late fiance \u2013 is currently being used by another person.<\/p>\n<p>Playing the romantic male lead is Sam Heughan, who rose to international fame thanks to his starring role in the popular drama Outlander. Priyanka Chopra Jonas stars opposite Heughan as Mira Ray. Celine Dion is also in the movie, playing herself and the subject of Rob\u2019s writing assignment.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the lyric video for the rom-com\u2019s theme song here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ADsUJwJ6VWI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a Scotsman who\u2019s been living in New York for so long that he\u2019d call himself a New Yorker,\u201d says Heughan of his character. \u201cHe\u2019s a music journalist who\u2019s still pretty depressed about being left at the altar a year earlier. Then Mira comes into his life and changes everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Heughan, preparing to play the lead in a romantic comedy wasn\u2019t just getting ready for a role \u2013 it was opening up a whole world of film. \u201cI started watching lots of romantic comedies, which I\u2019d avoided over the years because I thought they weren\u2019t for me. But as soon as I started to watch them, I fell in love with them,\u201d he says. \u201cThey\u2019re brilliant, they\u2019re adult, they\u2019re funny, they\u2019re dark \u2013 it was a revelation to me. And I think this movie is an homage or nod to that tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Preparation also was a chance for the actor to walk in the shoes of a music snob who gets his comeuppance in the form of the Queen of Power Ballads. \u201cIt was a fun movie to prep for,\u201d he says. \u201cJim sent me a playlist of very contemporary music \u2013 and it was pretty challenging music, because Rob is a bit of an academic. He\u2019s a cynic, a critical music snob who falls for the music of Celine Dion. At first, he only hears these songs on the surface \u2013 he thinks they\u2019re overly embellished, overly romantic. But it turns out there\u2019s truth to them. These songs really move him when he opens himself up to them. That\u2019s a really nice journey to go on with the character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSam is so thoughtful about everything,\u201d says producer Hornstein. \u201cSam made Rob a complicated guy \u2013 not your average romantic comedy prince who\u2019s there to save Mira.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Love Again is distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
