The British rom com makes a return in new ‘What’s Love Got to do With It?’ trailer

STUDIOCANAL and Working Title Films have launched the official trailer for cross-cultural British rom-com WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?, ahead of the films’ World Premiere at the 47th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival.

How do you find lasting love in today’s world? For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James), swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr Wrongs, to her eccentric mother Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dismay.

For Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbour Kaz (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an arranged (or “assisted”) marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love.

Directed by Shekhar Kapur (ELIZABETH) and written by Jemima Khan, WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? stars Lily JamesShazad Latif, Shabana Azmi, Sajal Aly and Academy Award® and BAFTA winner Emma Thompson.

The film is set to be released in UK cinemas on January 27th 2023.
