The trailer doesn't reveal much beyond that, but we do catch a glimpse of Bill talking about “anticipatory anxiety” and Willa cracking jokes about their forced reunion being her "worst-case scenario." The two continue to hash and rehash their breakup until both finally admit how much they really did love each other.
Sigh!The first full-length trailer was released on August 30, and features Meg Ryan isn't just the film's leading lady.
She also directs, and she co-wrote the screenplay, which is based on Steven Dietz's play Shooting Star.
Per the movie's synopsis, What Happens Later was made to recapture the “cheeky magic” of Ryan’s '90s rom-coms."Sometimes there's a question of: Will they be together? Will they not be together? For that reason, [What Happens Later] sort of evolves the rom-com genre just a little bit," Ryan told in an interview conducted prior to the actors' strike.
"It's also about old people, and it's still romantic and sexy."“My character, Willa, is a magical thinker and David's character, Bill, is a catastrophic thinker,” she added.
