“Long after humanity’s extinction, a buoy and a satellite meet online and fall in love.” The first teaser trailer and release date for Love Me, starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, have been revealed. Watch the teaser below.
In a story that spans billions of years, a buoy and a satellite meet online long after humanity’s extinction. As they learn what life was like on Earth, they discover themselves and what it means to be alive and in love.
In this groundbreaking first feature from directors Sam and Andy Zuchero, Love Me explores contemporary topics surrounding technology and identity, while at its heart is a simple, emotionally resonant tale of transformation. Thrillingly utilizing filmmaking techniques from live-action, practical animatronics, classic animation, game engines, and anchored in enthralling performances by Stewart and Yeun, Love Me culminates in the longest-spanning love story ever told.
Love Me follows the love story of a smart buoy and an orbiting satellite that spans a billion years and probes the mysteries of being and consciousness, which requires legit storytelling dexterity. Love Me’s whimsically philosophical, shape-shifting structure ingeniously weaves together the real, the virtual, and the surreal. Its star-crossed, web-paired metallic protagonists, inhabited in different forms by Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, awkwardly navigate romance and companionship, equipped only with untold petabytes of archived web data, social media, and online videos. Awash in these mediated experiences and fabricated expressions of love and identity, they yearn to understand who they are, whether their feelings are real, and, for that matter, whether they are real.
Produced by Kevin Rowe, Luca Borghese, Ben Howe, Shivani Rawat, and Julie Goldstein, Love Me is a production of ShivHans Pictures, 2AM, and AgX.
When will Love Me be released in theaters in the United States?
Love Me will hit theaters in the United States on January 31, 2025.
