Watch The Trailer For Red Nose Day's Love Actually Reunion
Break out the tissues: the Love Actually gang is back. All of the characters from the beloved 2003 Christmas movie are reuniting with the film's writer and director Richard Curtis for NBC's Red Nose Day, and we now have a new trailer for the tear-jerking, impossibly adorable reunion.
The trailer begins by replaying clips from the original film, complete with a voiceover from Hugh Grant: "It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
It then moves into the present day, beginning with Liam Neeson's Daniel talking to his son Sam (played by Game of Thrones' Thomas Brodie-Sangster). "I've had a lot of my mind," Sam says. "Work tough?" Daniel asks him. "It's more of a love thing, actually," Sam answers, to an eye roll from Daniel. "Ugh, here we go again," he replies.
Lest you worried about the reunion missing out on the film's key moments, it highlights quite a few of them, including the controversial scene where Andrew Lincoln's Mark shows up on the doorstep of Keira Knightley's Juliet with those famous cue cards. "Do you like the beard?" he asks her on this cue card. She nods no, and he changes to a second card, reading, "No– I'm not sure either."
Other things we learned in the trailer? Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) has made love to multiple of the Kardashians (of course), Rufus (Rowan Atkinson) is now working at a Wallgreens (and still bagging things incredibly slowly), and, of course, Grant's prime minister is still dancing (much to the dismay of Martine McCutcheon's Natalie).
Red Nose Day Actually will premiere on May 25 at 8 p.m. on NBC. Chiwetel Ejoifor, Colin Firth, Lucia Moniz, Olivia Olson, Laura Linney, and Patrick Dempsey also star. While we wait to see where all of the film's characters are now, read up on the movie's untold truth.
