Max Landis will make his highly-anticipated directorial debut with the comedy Me Him Her. The film stars Luke Bracey, Dustin Milligan and Emily Meade as three millennials trying to figure out their complicated lives in Los Angeles.
A new trailer for the film was recently released and Landis made sure it had all the right finishing touches, after being disappointed by a previous promo.
“The film is an odd duck and the trailer that had been made was very typical and generic in a way that didn’t represent the tone of the movie,” Landis told Entertainment Weekly. “I feel that this one really does.”
Landis, better known for his work on Chronicle and American Ultra, also told EW that after writing the script for Me Him Her, he was ready to take on a bigger challenge.
“I’d never really directed anything before and the majority of things I write are larger-scale science fiction things,” Landis said. “Even my smallest movie, Chronicle, had people flinging buses at each other with telekinesis in the script. I wanted to learn [how to direct] and, when I wrote the script, this seemed like the perfect movie to learn on.”
The writer-director also added that he wanted to helm the project because of its personal nature. “Most of the things in the movie really happened to me,” he said. “There are large elements of the movie that are based on a true story, which is the only thing I’ve ever written like that. I almost never write about myself in scripts. Me Him Her is sort of the lone exception to that rule.”
The film will be released in New York and Los Angeles on March 11.
