First-Look Trailer of LA LA LAND from the writer and director of WHIPLASH.

From Academy Award nominated writer and director, Damien Chazelle (Whiplash), comes LA LA LAND. A modern day take on the Hollywood musicals of old, it re-unites Crazy, Stupid, Love stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.

Set in the starry-eyed metropolis of Los Angeles, Stone plays aspiring actress Mia, while Gosling is struggling jazz musician Sebastian. The pair fall in love, and before they know it, their hopes and dreams are intertwined in a fully-fledged romance. But just as the city brings them together, LA threatens to tear them apart. In the cut-throat world of entertainment, Mia and Sebastian struggle to forge their own identities, and soon discover the greatest challenge they face is balancing art and love.

LA LA LAND will have its World Premiere at the 73rd Venice Film Festival - where it will also screen In Competition as the Opening Night film.

The single “City of Stars” (performed by Ryan Gosling) will soon be available for purchase on iTunes. The film will be released in January 2017.
