- Vertical released the first trailer for the romantic-comedy "Love Language" on Thursday, with the film set to debut Oct. 23 in select theaters and on digital/VOD following its SXSW world premiere in March.
- Chloë Grace Moretz stars as aspiring author Louisa "Lou" Klaussner, who builds a side hustle writing wedding vows for other people after her own engagement falls apart.
- Lou is pulled into a love triangle between charming serial dater Dash, played by Anthony Ramos, and her college best friend and longtime crush Warren, played by Manny Jacinto.
- Warren is engaged to Olivia, played by Isabel May, who is also a client of Lou's vow-writing business — a setup the source flags as a "tricky dynamic."
- Joey Power wrote and directed the film, which also features Billie Lourd, Lukas Gage and Chloe Fineman in the cast.
- Producers include Bert Hamelinck, Allison Hironaka, Ari Lubet, Colin Jost and Jeff Grosvenor, with executive producers Michael Sagol, Joey Power, Tyson Bidner and Corentin De Saedeleer.
Why it matters: Vertical is giving the rom-com genre a prestige-flavored push by anchoring it around Moretz and a buzz-friendly SXSW pedigree, plus a high-profile producer in SNL's Colin Jost — a distribution bet that theatrical and VOD audiences still want character-driven romantic comedies in the post-streaming rom-com drought.
