No Stranger Than Love is a Canadian romantic comedy directed by Nick Wernham. The film, which premiered at last year’s Newport Beach Film Festival, stars Alison Brie, Colin Hanks, and Justin Chatwin.
When Lucy (Alison Brie) tells a married Clint (Colin Hanks) that she loves him, he falls into a mysterious hole that suddenly appears in the middle of her living room. As Lucy desperately tries to save Clint, Rydell (Justin Chatwin) appears, looking to settle Clint’s gambling debt. Now Lucy must distract Rydell, the town and Clint’s wife from finding out about her affair and the hole, while trying to hold herself together in the process.
Wernham spoke to fangirlnation.com about his excitement when the film was named the closing night selection at the Newport festival. “I’ve been visiting Orange County for years with my family and I love the place. The Lido Live Theatre is beautiful too. My good friend Michael Sparaga had a film play at the festival some years ago and before I went down to support No Stranger Than Love he was telling me how thrilled he was that our movie would be playing at the Lido. When I saw it for the first time I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. What a place! It’s like something out of a Frank Capra or Frank Darabont movie. Just stunning. And the festival itself is so well run. I couldn’t be more impressed and of course it was a great honour for our film to show on the closing night.”
No Stranger Than Love is rated 14A.
