Blake Lively plays a woman who regains her vision and gets a new perspective on her relationship in “All I See Is You.” A trailer for the Marc Forster (“World War Z,” “Finding Neverland”) drama has dropped. “Does it ever bother you having to take care of me?” Gina (Lively, “The Shallows”) asks her husband James (Jason Clarke, “Zero Dark Thirty”) in the spot. “No. It makes me feel special,” he says.
Gina survived the nearly fatal childhood car crash that killed her parents and left her blind. She “depends on James to be her eyes — a dependence that appears to solidify their passionate relationship,” the film’s official synopsis details. The pair live in Bangkok, Thailand and “it seems the only real hardship this loving couple faces is difficulty conceiving a child.”
Their marriage takes a sudden turn when a corneal transplant restores Gina’s vision. Suddenly, James doesn’t feel so “special” anymore. Gina is dramatically more independent, and he’s left desperately trying to claim control over her, questioning who she’s talking to and judging the clothes she wears. “I just felt like I knew everything and now I don’t,” Gina says.
Lively’s upcoming projects include “The Rhythm Section,” a spy thriller directed by Reed Morano, and “Bruised,” an action-drama about an MMA fighter.
“All I See Is You” made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2016 and hits theaters October 27.
