My Last Day Without You
Synopsis: On a one-day business trip to New York, a young German business executive falls in love with a singer-songwriter who exposes him to her Brooklyn world and emotions he's never experienced before.
Just me: The movie trailer for this looks really intriguing. If you are not familiar with the star actress, Nicole Beharie, she can be seen in the electrifying film American Violet which was based on a true story. In American Violet Beharie starred as a young African American mother who was wrongfully accused of dealing drugs in a small, Bush-esque town in Texas. It was a wonderful film with a phenomenal cast and a great story. Despite all this it was not adopted by the mainstream. But it still managed to put Beharie on the map.
My Last Day Without You is currently in post-production and does not have an exact release date for 2011.
