Vertical has unveiled the first trailer for its multigenerational romantic comedy Maybe I Do, toplined by Emma Roberts (About Fate) and Luke Bracey (Elvis). The film also starring Diane Keaton (Mack & Rita), Richard Gere (Arbitrage), Susan Sarandon (Monarch) and William H. Macy (The Conners) is slated for release in theaters nationwide on January 27, 2023.
The first feature written and directed by Oscar nominee Michael Jacobs (Quiz Show), Maybe I Do follows Michelle (Roberts) and Allen (Bracey), who have reached the point in their relationship where they are considering the next steps and decide to invite their parents to finally meet. The parents already know each other well — really well — leading to distinct and defining opinions about the value of marriage.
Maybe I Do was financed and produced by Fifth Season — the global entertainment studio formerly known as Endeavor Content — and marks the latest in a line of successful collaborations between the company and Vertical, including Joe Bell starring Mark Wahlberg and Connie Britton, and Shadow in the Cloud starring Chloë Grace Moretz and Nick Robinson. Pic was produced by Jacobs, Vincent Newman and Scott Mednick, with Keaton, Stephanie Heaton-Harris, Jennifer Semler, Jonathan Montepare, Skyler Mednick and Jason Pinardo serving as exec producers.
The star-studded film is set to open against Greenwich Entertainment’s drama The Man in the Basement, Universal Pictures’ genre-bender Distant, IFC Films’ comedy Worlds Apart led by Bob Odenkirk, and Hidden Empire Film Group’s horror, Fear.
