CEBU, Philippines – Drew Barrymore and Justin Long share a long-distance love affair in New Line Cinema’s new romantic comedy Going the Distance.
In the film, Erin ’s (Barrymore) wry wit and unfiltered frankness charm newly single Garrett (Long) over beer, bar trivia and breakfast the next morning. Their chemistry sparks a full-fledged summer fling, but neither expects it to last once Erin heads home to San Francisco and Garrett stays behind for his job in New York City . But when six weeks of romping through the city inadvertently become meaningful, neither is sure they want it to end.
Despite the opposite coasts, the nay-saying friends and family, and a few unexpected temptations, the couple just might have found something like love, and with the help of a lot of texting and late-night phone calls, they might actually go the distance.
Academy Award®-nominated documentary filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes) makes her feature film directorial debut with Going the Distance. The film is written by Geoff LaTulippe.
Opening soon across the Philippines, Going the Distance is a New Line Cinema production, and distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. (THE FREEMAN)
