  • ‘Last Christmas’ Trailer: Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding Fall in Love to the Songs of George Michael

    Universal

    ‘Tis the season to fall in love!

    The first trailer for “Last Christmas” pairs up Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”) and Henry Golding (“Crazy Rich Asians”) for a holiday romantic comedy from Paul Feig.

    Clarke plays Kate, a bundle of bad decisions who isn’t too happy with her job as an elf in a year-round Christmas store. Then, she runs into Tom (Golding), who seems too good to be true — handsome, funny, charitable, with the ability to see through Kate’s barriers.

    As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, Kate starts to realize she can turn her life around — you gotta have faith.

    Yes, as the title indicates, the movie is backed by a soundtrack filled with songs by the late George Michael, including that bittersweet holiday tune. The movie will also premiere new, unreleased material by the legendary Grammy-winning artist.

    “Last Christmas” also stars Emma Thompson and Michelle Yeoh, and opens in theaters November 8.

    Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding will get to romance each other one week earlier.

    Universal is moving up “Last Christmas,” the Paul Feig-directed romantic comedy starring the “Game of Thrones” star, the “Crazy Rich Asians” breakout, and Emma Thompson. It will now open November 8, 2019, instead of November 15.

    “Last Christmas” is inspired by the hit song by the late George Michael and will feature unreleased music by the former Wham singer.

    The story follows Kate (Clarke), who harrumphs around London, a bundle of bad decisions accompanied by the jangle of bells on her shoes, another irritating consequence from her job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. Tom (Golding) seems too good to be true when he walks into her life and starts to see through so many of Kate’s barriers. As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two.

    The upcoming holiday rom-com “Last Christmas” has added another “Crazy Rich Asians” star.

    Acclaimed actress Michelle Yeoh has boarded the project, Variety reports. The move means she’ll again co-star with Henry Golding, who played her son in the hit summer film “Crazy Rich Asians.” Yeoh’s new cast mates also include “Game of Thrones” star Emilia Clarke.

    Directed by Paul Feig, the film is written by Emma Thompson and Bryony Kimmings. It centers on a London woman named Kate (Clarke), who has a history of making poor decisions. She’ll apparently be working as an elf at a year-round Christmas store when she meets a man named Tom (Golding), whom she finds suspiciously perfect. We don’t know how Yeoh fits into the story at this point, but as Golding said in a tweet, adding her into the already-talented mix means the movie will be “ridonkulous.”

    The prolific actress stars in films in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English, and she has an impressive body of work. Some of the English-language films she’s best known for include 2000’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” 2005’s “Memoirs of a Geisha,” 2017’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” and the aforementioned “Crazy Rich Asians.” She recently also had a recurring role in “Star Trek: Discovery” Season 1.

    “Last Christmas” is scheduled for release on Nov. 15, 2019.

    Here’s an early holiday gift: a romantic movie starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. Even better? It’s co-written by Emma Thompson!

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, the “Game of Thrones” star and “Crazy Rich Asians” breakout are set for “Last Christmas.” The movie will be directed by Paul Feig, who worked with Golding in the recently-released “A Simple Favor.”

    The screenplay is by Bryony Kimmings and Thompson, who last penned 2016’s “Bridget Jones’s Baby” and won an Academy Award for writing 1995’s “Sense & Sensibility.”

    Little is known about “Last Christmas,” other than that it’s a holiday romance set in London.

    Clarke is wrapping up the final season of “Game of Thrones” and has appeared in movies including this year’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story” and the romantic weeper “Me Before You.”

    And Golding has quickly become a leading man in demand after his breakout turn in the blockbuster romantic comedy “Crazy Rich Asians.”
