Maggie's Plan — Int'l Trailer

added: Fri, Mar 25th '16

"Frances Ha" star Gretta Gerwig has come up with an odd way to get rid of her husband in the new international trailer for the screwball relationship comedy "Maggie's Plan."

Gerwig plays a quirky New Yorker who wants to have a baby but not necessarily get married. Purely by chance, however, she meets and falls in love with a married man (played by Ethan Hawke). They quickly tie the knot and have a daughter. But as time goes by, Gerwig grows tired of her new husband. And then one day, she wonders if she can just give him back to his ex-wife (Julianne Moore), thus concocting an off-the-wall plan to reunite the two former spouses.

Featuring a strong supporting cast that includes Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Travis Fimmel, and Wallace Shawn, "Maggie's Plan" is written and directed by Rebecca Miller (The Ballad of Jack and Rose, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee), who's the daughter of famed playwright Arthur Miller and the wife of actor Daniel Day-Lewis.

The comedy will be arriving in select theaters on May 20th.

synopsis:
In MAGGIE'S PLAN, Greta Gerwig portrays Maggie Hardin, a vibrant and practical thirty-something New Yorker working in education, who without success in finding love, decides now is the time to have a child on her own. But when she meets John Harding (Ethan Hawke), an anthropology professor and struggling novelist, Maggie falls in love for the first time, and adjusts her plans for motherhood. Complicating matters, John is in an unhappy marriage with Georgette Harding (Julianne Moore), an ambitious academic who is driven by her work. With some help from Maggie's eccentric and hilarious best friends, married couple Tony (Bill Hader) and Felicia (Maya Rudolph), Maggie sets in motion a new plan that intertwines their lives and connects them in surprising and humorous ways. Maggie learns that sometimes destiny should be left to its own devices.
