First look at Amazon Prime's new romantic film starring Anne Hathaway as trailer drops

Fans of romantic-comedy movies have a brand new blockbuster to get themselves revved up for in the coming weeks.

The Idea of You stars Academy Award-winning superstar Anne Hathaway as a 40-year-old single mum named Solène, who is immediately enraptured by the stage presence and sex appeal of 24-year-old musician heartthrob Hayes Campbell, after their work brings them together.

When the disorganised mother is forced to chaperone her teenage daughter’s trip to Coachella Music Festival - with her ex-hubby having bailed - a chance encounter brings her and Hayes face-to-face.

And - according to the Amazon Prime's description of the two leads - there is an 'instant, undeniable spark'.

The duo set out on a whirlwind romance, but - in true Hannah Montana style - it isn’t long before Hayes’ big-name superstar status poses unavoidable challenges to their affair.

"What about what people will say," Hathaway's character Solène is seen asking Hayes - played by Nicholas Galitzine - in the trailer.

"I don’t care what they’ll say," he tells her in response.

Screaming, crying, throwing up.

Within weeks, Solène is forced to face the head-spinning reality that life in the glare of his musical spotlight might be more than she bargained for.

Anne Hathaway, romance, boybands, forbidden love? I don't know about you, but this sounds like the recipe for at least an Emmy...

Anyway, the trailer for the brand new tear-jerker has finally landed online, and by the sounds of things, future viewers cannot WAIT to sink their teeth into it.

"Rom coms starring Anne Hathaway are usually good," one has since penned on social media.

Another added: "Anne Hathaway is GOLDEN"

"This looks like a good watch," a third went on.

A fourth tweeted: "Anne always bring light to a scene - She is too good"

"Oh romcoms are so back," added another.

It was originally rumoured that - on top of the A-list cast - the upcoming heart-warmer was based on a fan-fiction story written about Harry Styles.

This speculation has since been shut down as the flick is based on the book of the same name by Robinne Lee.

The film launches globally on Prime Video on 2 May.
