After its debut at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, the first trailer for Louis C.K.’s new film I Love You, Daddy has debuted online. Louis C.K. and Chloë Grace Moretz are amongst the cast of the film, which looks very reminiscent of Woody Allen’s film work. We sadly missed the film at TIFF but are really interested in what he’s done here.
I Love You, Daddy is a bittersweet comedy about successful TV writer/producer Glen Topher (C.K.), who panics when his spoiled 17-year-old daughter China (Chloë Grace Moretz) starts spending time with 68-year-old Leslie Goodwin (John Malkovich), a legendary film director with a reputation for dating underage girls. Conceived in the high style of 1940s Hollywood movies, with lustrous black and white 35mm photography and a soaring orchestral score, I Love You, Daddy blends a classic look with Louis C.K.’s raucous modern comic sensibility to tell the story of a flawed man’s struggle to connect with his daughter and get back on his feet as an artist.
I Love You, Daddy has a release date set for November 22nd in the United States, but sadly there are no international release dates set as yet. Of course, we’ll keep you updated if that changes. For now, watch the new trailer, courtesy of The Orchard, below.
