The Fault In Our Stars showed there’s a big market out there for teen-focussed weepies, and If I Stay is hoping capitalise on that when it’s released next month.

‘But what should have been a carefree family drive changes everything in an instant, and now her own life hangs in the balance. Caught between life and death for one revealing day, Mia has only one decision left, which will not only decide her future but her ultimate fate. “If I Stay” is based on the best-selling novel of the same name. ‘

It’s on in the US on August 22nd and the UK on August 29th. [Read more…]

If I Stay Trailer – Chloe Moretz gets caught between life and death

April 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If I Stay is one of those movies that could either be fascinating or utterly dreadful, as it’s got a premise that has a lot of promise but needs careful handling.

We won’t know whether it works or not until its release later this year – it’s due out in August in the US but no UK date is currently set. However we can get a taste with a trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘On a day that started like any other, Mia (Chloe Moretz) had everything: a loving family, an adoring boyfriend, and a bright future full of music. Suddenly, a family drive on a snowy day changes everything. In an instant, almost all of that is taken from her.

‘Caught between life and death, Mia spends one critical day contemplating a future that is now more unknowable than ever. Is love enough to keep her here? Tragic but ultimately hopeful, this is a romantic, riveting and uplifting story about music, life and love.’ [Read more…]

Chloe Moretz is in talks to take the lead role in Summit Entertainment’s upcoming supernatural drama If I Stay. Variety also reports that documentary helmer R.J. Cutler is looking to direct the movie, which is based on Gayle Forman’s romantic novel.

Assuming she signs on, the young Kick-Ass and Dark Shadows star will play classical music prodigy Mia who, after a fatal car crash on a snowy road in Oregon, finds herself drifting between life and death. She must make a decision whether to give in and die or try to fight her way back to life.

R.J. Cutler, who’s best known for the documentaries The September Issue and The World According to Dick Cheney, will make his fiction feature debut. He takes over the reins from Catherine Hardwicke, who was previously attached to helm.
