“A Rainy Day in New York,” tells the story of college sweethearts, Gatsby (Timothée Chalamet) and Ashleigh (Elle Fanning), whose plans for a romantic weekend together in the city are dashed as quickly as the sunlight turns into showers.
When Ashleigh gets an assignment from the school paper to interview celebrated film director Roland Pollard (Liev Schreiber) in Manhattan, Gatsby seizes the opportunity to show small-town girl Ashleigh his favorite haunts in his home city. However, Gatsby’s well-laid plans are quickly sidetracked when Pollard whisks Ashleigh away on a head-spinning series of encounters that lead her from the director to screenwriter Ted Davidoff (Jude Law) to movie star Francisco Vega (Diego Luna).
Left to his own devices in the city, Gatsby ends up spending the day with Chan (Selena Gomez), the sharp-witted younger sister of his ex-girlfriend, attending parties, and having his own life-changing conversations and encounters.
Through this series of chance meetings and comical adventures, the pair discover that while you only live once, once is enough if you find the right person.
“A Rainy Day in New York” sees writer and director Woody Allen (“Manhattan,” “Annie Hall”) return to the romantic comedy field of previous hits “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and “Midnight in Paris,” assembling an all-star cast including Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Selena Gomez (“Spring Breakers”), Jude Law (“Closer”), Diego Luna (“Rogue One”) and Liev Schreiber (“Spotlight”) for a charming, sizzling and comedic tale set amid the fast-paced, dizzying streets of The Big Apple.
“A Rainy Day in New York” will be available to view on Home Premiere June 5th
