Amazon Prime Video has premiered the teaser trailer for “The Love Hypothesis,” a new film adaptation of a New York Times bestselling novel that began life as a piece of “Star Wars” shipping.
Ali Hazelwood authored the novel which was borne out of a work of fan fiction about a relationship between Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Rey (Daisy Ridley) from the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy.
She reworked the story, adjusted the names and the result was this more contemporary tale about two scientific academics who fall in love.
The story follows Olive (Lili Reinhart), a brilliant Ph.D. candidate focused on her future in academia. But when she realizes her best friend Ahn (Rachel Marsh) has fallen for her crush Jeremy (Nicholas Duvernay), Olive impulsively kisses intimidating professor Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman) to prove she’s moved on.
What begins as a desperate act of friendship spirals into a fake relationship with rules, boundaries, and a mutually beneficial agreement. When their arrangement begins to blur the lines between performance and reality, Olive is forced to test her most daunting hypothesis yet: that love might actually be worth the risk.
Amusingly, Bateman is also the real-life husband of Daisy Ridley. Claire Scanlon (“The Office”) directed the adaptation from a screenplay by Sarah Rothschild.
Amazon MGM Studios will release “The Love Hypothesis” directly to Prime Video on September 23rd.
The post Teaser Trailer: “The Love Hypothesis” appeared first on Dark Horizons.
