Not really sure why we need another one so soon, but a second trailer for Edward Zwick’s “Love And Other Drugs” has already arrived and it has a few new scenes we hadn’t seen before. Also a new high-res photo (below) has been released by the studio (here’s the first trailer and some lo-res scans).
Based on Jamie Reidy’s nonfiction book, “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman,” the story centers on a lothario salesman (Jake Gyllenhaal) who begins a relationship with a woman who has Parkinson’s (Anne Hathaway) — the symptoms of which we finally see here — with their love story playing out in the political and social context of the ’90s. Gabriel Macht, Judy Greer, Oliver Platt, Josh Gad and Hank Azaria co-star.
In the recent issue of EW, Zwick said the “Brokeback Mountain” co-stars had to be extremely “intimate” with each other in the film and already having known each other from the aforementioned Ang Lee film (where they shared a sex scene) definitely helped. Still, we can’t help but think this trailer looks really cornball and not really what we expected. Maybe it’s just the trailer itself. A 20th Century Fox film, “Love And Other Drugs” hits theaters November 24 and doesn’t look like it will be part of the fall film festival circuit.
