Anne Hathaway’s Newest Rom Com Trailer Hits Record Among Streaming Movies

Summary:

• The trailer for the romantic comedy The Idea Of You with Anne Hathaway in a leading role is now the most watched trailer among streaming movies.
• The plot of The Idea Of You follows an unexpected romance sparking between a single mom in her forties and “the hottest boy band leader on the planet”.
• Anne Hathaway is also one of the producers of the new film alongside the author of the original story.

For the streaming service Amazon it all started with the successful release of Road House starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor, but is going even better now. The trailer for the romantic comedy The Idea Of You, with Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitizine leading the cast, has hit a record after having got around 125M views on all social media platforms.

Thus, it became the most watched trailer among the movies that have ever been released on the streaming platforms.

The actress herself also posted the video in her social media and this may have played some role in the worldly success as Anne Hathaway’ account is followed by approximately 32M of her fans.

The Idea Of You is set to be released in theaters on March 18 and on Prime Video on May 2. The plot is based on — fans alert — Harry Styles fanfiction.

Anne Hathaway portrays Solène, a single mom in her forties who suddenly gets involved in a romance with a young musician Hayes Campbell, played by Galitzine, who appears to be “the hottest boy band leader on the planet”.

As Solène struggles to keep her life together while organizing a trip to Coachella Music Festival for her teenage daughter and also dealing with her ex who reappears out of nowhere, she also has to overcome serious challenges in her relationships with Hayes as the latter is starting to rise to fame.

The script was elaborated by Michael Showalter, who is also directing, and Jennifer Westfeldt — both took the novel of the same name by Robinne Lee as their primary source. Anne Hathaway is also producing her new film alongside the author of the novel Robinne Lee.

At the film premiere on March 16, Hathaway couldn’t resist her emotions while thanking fans for showing her new project so much love, adding that she considers this kind of responsiveness as a pure gift.
