20th Century Fox has just unveiled the first trailer for their highly anticipated romantic dramaedy Rules Don’t Apply.
The film, which is set in Hollywood in 1958, tells of the budding romance between Marla Mabrey, an aspiring actress, and Frank Forbes, her driver. The two work for billionaire Howard Hughes, whose eccentric personality and bizarre actions keep their forbidden relationship at bay.
The trailer, which begins with an unusual obsession with ice cream, convey’s Hughes’ personality quite well, even if the rest of the story is somewhat lost in the negative space. Regardless, the witty dialogue and strong cast of supporting characters gives us some hope that Rules Don’t Apply could be a valiant return for 15-time Oscar nominee Warren Beatty, his first stint in front of the camera since 2001’s Town & Country.
Beatty is joined in the film by Lily Collins, Alden Ehrenreich, Ed Harris, Annette Being, Alec Baldwin, Taissa Farming and Martin Sheen. Set to hit theaters on November 23rd, the film will have its world premiere two weeks prior at the 2016 AFI FEST in Hollywood.
