Drake Doremus' 'Like Crazy' Starring Anton Yelchin & Jennifer Lawrence To Hit 'Early 2011'

Drake Doremus’ teaming with Anton Yelchin and Jennifer Lawrence for the long distance love story “Like Crazy” will evidently see a release early next year.

In a blog written by Doremus himself over at TheWrap, the director warns readers with a “shameless plug alert” before revealing that his latest film “‘Like Crazy’ comes out in early 2011.” The time frame certainly raises the prospect of a potential premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where Doremus’ “Douchebag” was unveiled last year, and Lawrence garnered incredible buzz for her turn in Debra Granik’s “Winter’s Bone.”

“Like Crazy” was previously revealed to be “a mostly improvised drama that follows the long distance relationship of Jacob, an American, and Sam, a young British woman who meet while in college,” which should provide a great platform for the two actors to flourish. Shooting began in June of this year on the back of Lawrence’s strong buzz from Sundance, and at a time when the actress’ turn along side Yelchin in Jodie Foster’s “The Beaver” looked like it was set for release later this year. That film’s release still remains up in the air.

Interestingly, the blog post also reveals Doremus’ own privileged and eye-opening experiences as an apprentice editor on Quentin Tarantino movies and employees of such helmers as Christopher Guest, Miranda July and Sacha Gervasi.
