The Sundance Film Festival witnessed the stunning debut of the interstellar romance penned and helmed by the talented husband-and-wife filmmaking duo, Sam and Andy Zuchero. Entitled "Love Me," this enchanting tale of cosmic love stars Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, captivating audiences with its blend of live action, animation, animatronics, and game engine architecture.
Now, Bleecker Street and ShivHans Pictures have come together to bring this magical journey to U.S. screens. As the film embarks on its journey at the Cannes Film Market, represented by WME Independent for foreign sales, excitement mounts for its early 2025 release.
"Love Me" not only showcases the remarkable talents of Stewart and Yeun, but also delves into provocative topics surrounding artificial intelligence and identity. Their characters, evolving from animatronic machines to human beings, embark on a love story that spans billions of years, taking place in a world after the collapse of humanity.
The film follows a satellite and buoy as they embark on an unexpected journey of love, defying the boundaries of time and space. "We are thrilled to have Bleecker Street join our passionate 'Love Me' team," said Sam and Andy Zuchero in a statement. "Together, we look forward to bringing this unique and captivating film to audiences across the country."
Produced by ShivHans Pictures, 2AM, and AgX, "Love Me" boasts a stellar team of producers including Kevin Rowe, Luca Borghese, Ben Howe, Shivani Rawat, and Julie Goldstein. Daniel Bekerman, Christine D'Souza Gelb, and Connor Flanagan serve as executive producers, ensuring the film's vision is brought to life with utmost care and precision.
This isn't the first collaboration between Bleecker Street and ShivHans Pictures, as the two companies previously partnered on Andrew Ahn's "The Wedding Banquet," starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, and Kelly Marie Tran. With their combined expertise and passion for cinema, the duo continues to bring captivating stories to the big screen, leaving audiences in awe.
