Watch the new trailer for a comedy about what happens when Aaron Paul, Pierce Brosnan, and Toni Collette choose NOT to kill themselves.
As it turns out, suicide can be rewarding, at least if you end up meeting some great friends along the way.
A Long Way Down, the newest Nick Hornby adaptation (author of About a Boy), finds four disparate people forming an unlikely friendship when they all agree together to not kill themselves on New Year’s Eve while on the same coincidental rooftop. And with a winsome group like Pierce Brosnan, Aaron Paul, Toni Collette, and Imogen Poots, we should all be equally thankful, that it didn’t happen. Choosing not to end their lives, the foursome develop a strong bond by agreeing to stay alive until at least Valentine’s Day, despite building media scrutiny due to Poots’ father being a popular British politician (Sam Neill).
In a cast that includes Rosmund Pike, this Pascal Chaumeil film appears to be the kind of life-affirming character piece that Lionsgate and BBC hopes will hit the sweet spot when it opens in the UK on March 21, 2014. And if it truly works, the U.S. good feelings about driving past the end of the line are sure to follow.
