In the spirit of a movie enthusiast, it seems that Celine Song is aiming to revitalize the romantic comedy genre with her upcoming film, “Materialists,” set to release on June 13th. The trailer presents an intriguing tale where Dakota Johnson plays a witty matchmaker navigating between two suitors: Chris Evans as her rugged ex and Pedro Pascal as a high-flying private-equity mogul residing in a swanky penthouse. It appears that, despite her knack for understanding others’ desires, Lucy, the protagonist, finds herself indecisive.
In contrast to her previous work, “Past Lives,” which had a subdued and melancholic atmosphere, “Materialists” carries an unexpectedly lively and appealing marketing tone. For example, the voice-over in this new trailer evokes the spirit of the mid-2000s or even a humorous spoof from a Saturday Night Live digital short poking fun at trailers from that era.

In the realm of matchmaking, it’s acknowledged that no one excels like Lucy, yet love isn’t part of her calculations. The recent trailer and character profiles from A24, which label Evans’ John as a Bernie supporter and Pascal’s Harry as an old-money type, hint at a more humorous tone compared to Song’s previous work. Although the trailer itself isn’t laugh-out-loud funny, the promotional strategy indicates a more casual, perhaps self-aware, take on the subject matter. Johnson and Evans, with their past in lighthearted romantic comedies like “How to Be Single” and “What’s Your Number?”, seem especially suited for this approach. The intrigue lies less in who Lucy will ultimately pick and more in understanding what kind of movie “Materialists” aspires to be. Nevertheless, we’re eager to find out.
