The first set photos of Matthew Lewis with costar Emilia Clarke (of
Game of Thrones fame) from their upcoming movie
Me Before You were released this week.
The images show the actress and
Harry Potter star, who portray a couple named Louisa and Patrick, shooting a scene on a street in Wales.
The scene they're filming occurs a good two-thirds of the way through the book. The girl, Louisa, played by Clarke, breaks the news to her boyfriend Patrick, played by Lewis, that she won’t be able to watch him in his big upcoming race because of her job. She tells him she will instead be going on a week-long holiday with the quadriplegic that she’s a caregiver for, and he gets a bit jealous.
A summary of the book can be read here.
Quote:
They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose . . .
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.
Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.
The film is an adaptation of the book written by Jojo Moyes, which can be purchased
here; and, according to Variety, is tentatively set for release in June 2016.
