First Look: The Last Five Years
This is the first look we have been given at the new movie musical The Next Five years, originally an off-Broadway production written by the fantastic Jason Robert Brown the film adaptation sees Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air, Pitch Perfect) and Jeremy Jordon (Smash, Joyful Noise) take the parts of Cathy and Jamie a couple who have ups and downs throughout there 5 year relationship.
The stage version plays both storylines out separately, first we meet Cathy she's at the end of the relationship and her story goes in non-chronological order, and when we meet Jamie he is at the beginning of the relationship and his story then follows in chronological order. There timelines meet briefly when the couple get married. Due to its interesting narrative I can't wait to see how the movie works it out.
But if this first look is anything to go by, I already have high hopes. Now all we have to do is wait till February...
In the meantime check out the cast albums from the two off-Broadway productions
