Regretting You: The trailer for the new Josh Boone film revealed

The newly released trailer offers a glimpse into the strained relationship between Morgan (Allison Williams) and her daughter, Clara (McKenna Grace).

It begins on a playful note where Clara lies to her mother, even though she is honest with her aunt, Jenny (Willa Fitzgerald), as she spends time with Miller (Mason Thames). However, it all changes when her father, Chris (Scott Eastwood), dies in a car accident with Jenny.

It takes Clara and Morgan on individual journeys. Jenny's husband Jonah (Dave Franco) wonders whether Jenny and Jonah were having an affair. He mentions it to Morgan.

Clara, on the other hand, goes through a profound grieving process, trying to recover the loss of her late father, while building a healthier relationship with her mother.

More details about Regretting You, the Colleen Hoover movie adaptation

Before Regretting You, director Josh Boone has also worked on other adaptations of best-selling novels. He previously co-created the Paramount+ series, The Stand, based on an eponymous novel by Stephen King.

In 2014, Boone helmed the adaptation of Josh Green's The Fault in Our Stars, a tender romance drama, starring Shailene Woodley as a cancer-patient teenager, who goes through a life-changing journey once she falls in love with Ansel Elgort's character.

Boone's latest film seems to be trading in similar emotional beats. It shows a blossoming romance between two teenagers, as they face a crisis beyond their control. It leads them on a journey of self-discovery as they learn to be comfortable in their skin.

The film seems like a moving chapter from their adolescence, where they learn the value of mutual understanding and compassion.

The cast and characters of Regretting You include:

• Mckenna Grace as Clara Grant
• Allison Williams as Morgan Grant
• Mason Thames as Miller Adams
• Willa Fitzgerald as Jenny Davidson
• Dave Franco as Jonah Sullivan
• Aubrey Brockwell as young Clara
• Scott Eastwood as Chris Grant
• Sam Morelos as Lexie
• Ethan Costanilla as Efren
• Clancy Brown as Hank "Gramps" Adams

The McKenna Grace-starrer, Regretting You, is set to be released in cinemas on October 24, 2025.
