An adaptation of Jason Robert Brown’s acclaimed Off-Broadway musical, The Last Five Years chronicles a love affair and marriage taking place over a five-year period. Jamie Wellerstein (Jordan) is a young, talented up and coming novelist who falls in love with Cathy Hiatt (Kendrick), a struggling actress. Their story is told almost entirely through song. All of Cathy’s songs begin at the end of their marriage and move backwards in time to the beginning of their love affair, while Jamie’s songs start at the beginning of their affair and move forward to the end of their marriage. They meet in the center when Jamie proposes.
Adapted for the screen and directed by Richard LaGravenese (P.S. I Love You), The Last Five Years will be released by RADiUS just in time for Valentine’s Day on February 13, 2015.
