2022 American film
Rosaline is an upcoming American romantic comedy film directed by Karen Maine, from a screenplay by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, and stars Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Kyle Allen, Bradley Whitford, and Minnie Driver.[2] It is based on the novel When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle, which, in turn, was inspired by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
The film is scheduled to be released in 2022 on Hulu in the United States, Disney+ internationally and Star+ in Latin America.[3]
Premise
Rosaline is a comedic and revisionist take of Romeo and Juliet, as we see “the most famous love story ever told” through the eyes of Juliet's cousin Rosaline, a sharp but idealistic young woman—who happens to be Romeo's recent ex. What begins as an attempt to foil the famous romance and win back her guy becomes a journey of self-discovery as she ultimately works to help get the star-crossed lovers back together.
