We haven’t had a feature length movie from Spike Jonze since Where The Wild Things Are in 2009, but now he’s returning with Her, which has just released its first trailer. Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson star in the film, with the trailer working almost like a short in its own right. It’s something slightly different and yet the same from Jonze, as he’s never really done a proper romantic drama before – even if this is a romance between a man and a computer.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), a lonely writer, purchases a newly developed operating system designed to grant the users every command. To Theodores surprise, a romantic relationship develops between himself and the operating system.’
Her is due out in the US in November.
