Apple TV+ debuted its first trailer Wednesday for a rare beast — a sci-fi romantic comedy. It’s called Fingernails, and its appealing cast includes Jessie Buckley, Riz Ahmed, Jeremy Allen White and Luke Wilson.
Set in and around a “love-testing institute,” the Apple Originals film debuts in New York City and Los Angeles theaters October 27 and in more theaters and on Apple TV+ November 3.
Fingernails trailer puts love to the scientific test
Director, writer and producer Christos Nikou, known for the Greek film Apples, helms the movie and its star-studded cast. It includes Academy Award-nominee Buckley (The Lost Daughter), Academy Award-winner Ahmed (Sound of Metal), Golden Globe Award-winner Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) and Luke Wilson (The Goldfinch).
Here’s how the streaming service described the film:
Anna (Buckley) and Ryan (White) have found true love. It’s been proven by a controversial new technology. There’s just one problem: Anna still isn’t sure. Then she takes a position at a love-testing institute, and meets Amir (Ahmed).
Nikou, Stavros Raptis and Sam Steiner co-wrote the film. Nikou produced it along with Cate Blanchett, Andrew Upton and Coco Francini for Dirty Films and Lucas Wiesendanger for FilmNation Entertainment. Glen Basner, Milan Popelka, Alison Cohen, Ashley Fox, Kevin Lafferty and Jerome Duboz served as executive producers.
