Celine Song's upcoming film 'Materialists', set for release on June 13, features Dakota Johnson as a matchmaker caught between two suitors, played by Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. Unlike her previous work, 'Past Lives', which had a somber tone, 'Materialists' is marketed with a fun, playful vibe reminiscent of mid-2000s romantic comedies. The promotional material hints at a self-aware approach to the romantic plot, showcasing the characters made for easy-going fluff rather than intense emotional decisions. This shift suggests an exploration of the genre's conventions rather than simply resolving the love triangle.
"In the world of matchmaking, no one plays the game better than Lucy, but love isn't part of her equation."
"The throwback nature of the latest trailer suggests a more playful tone than we've seen from Song's work so far."
