Joey King stars as a teenager dealing with young love and loss in the new Paramount+ original film “The In Between.” But this is no ordinary romance. Yes, it’s a film that explores first love, but it also explores a second chance courtesy of a supernatural twist.
Author Marc Klein based the idea on of the tragic death of an ex-girlfriend almost 15 years ago. Klein noticed certain events in the aftermath of her death that made him think she may have been trying to communicate with him, and that brought him to the research of the afterlife — also known as ADCs or After Death Communications. What started as a rough idea turned into both a book and a film.
“I wrote a partial manuscript, about 100 pages. That was what was brought to Joey King, but I had already fleshed out what the rest of the book was going to be,...

Actress Joey King was approached to star in the new Paramount+ original film “The In Between” — a story about first love, loss and an epic romance — before it had even been fully written.
“Our writer Marc Klein came to me and my team with this idea,” King told TheWrap during a recent interview. “And the funny thing is, it wasn’t even a script yet. It wasn’t even a book yet. … He just had this amazing passion about him and this great story that he had personal ties to as well. And his pitch just blew me away.”
“The In Between,” which is now streaming exclusively on Paramount+, stars “The Kissing Booth” alum as Tessa, a teenager fresh from the foster system, whose one outlet from her difficult life is photography.
“I did not know anything about operating a [Minolta] film camera at all, and I got to learn which was so cool,...

The spirit of “Ghost” literally haunts “The In Between,” a romance about two high school students whose love affair is tragically cut short, including a cameo by the poster for the 1990 blockbuster which starred Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. This time, the star-crossed lovers are teenagers — Tessa (Joey King) and Skylar (Kyle Allen) — who are involved in a car accident in the movie’s first scene. Skyler is killed and Tessa is hospitalized with a critical injury to her heart, an example of the film’s less-than-subtle use of metaphors.
Using a split timeline, “The In Between” alternates between the past, recounting how Tessa and Skylar fell in love, and the present, in which the grieving Tessa starts to believe her late boyfriend is trying to communicate with her from beyond the grave.
The teens meet at a revival screening of Jean-Jacques Beneix’s 1986 tale of amour fou, “Betty Blue,...

Talk about a sub-sub-genre that won’t die. Less than two years after the soulless vapidity of Scott Speer’s “Endless”, death-obsessed Gen Z-ers are again gifted with, well, a slightly less soulless and vapid “Ghost” ripoff in the form of Arie Posin’s “The In Between.” Bolstered by the charms of Joey King — fresh off her Netflix trilogy “The Kissing Booth,” sealing her as one of our most formidable streaming romance stars —
The primary issue: “The In Between” seems stuck in between (sorry) two very different stories. There’s the sweet, chemistry-fizzing romance between budding orphan photographer Tessa (King) and trilingual championship rower Skylar who meet cute at a screening of “Betty Blue” at their local arthouse (kids these days!) and then try to make a go of it, and what happens after a summer together — cut short when a car accident kills Skylar.

A sequel to “Paranormal Activity” and a prequel to “Pet Sematary” will debut on Paramount Plus. In addition, “The In Between,” a supernatural thriller from “Chumscruber” and “The Face of Love” director Arie Posin, will also premiere on the new streaming service.
The films were developed by Paramount Players, the studio’s genre label. Paramount is looking to produce between four to six films for the streaming service annually. Paramount Plus was unveiled to investors on Wednesday and will make its debut in March. It also comes as the streaming wars are heating up and media companies are looking to topple Netflix. Disney, WarnerMedia, Apple and Comcast have all unveiled streaming services in recent months, while ViacomCBS is rebranding CBSAll Access as Paramount Plus.
“Paranormal Activity” will be a “new, unexpected chapter” in the long-running horror series, the studio said. The film is directed by Will Eubank (“Underwater”) from a script by Christopher Landon.

Featuring Annette Bening, Ed Harris and a poignant cameo from Robin Williams, this promising oddity unravels into absurdity
• Annette Bening: ‘I like being a veteran, I have fewer illusions’
Here is an initially intriguing oddity on the doppelganger theme from Arie Posin, who made a suburbia satire called The Chumscrubber in 2005. It finally unravels into bathos and absurdity, though not without some moments of interest on the way. The Face of Love is not quite a supernatural thriller, nor exactly a romantic drama, nor precisely a study in psychological breakdown. Perhaps it needed a young M Night Shyamalan to endow it with some final whiplash twist. Nikki, a highly strung performance from Annette Bening, is grieving for her adored husband, played by Ed Harris. Then she is astonished to see a certain man who looks exactly like her late husband, also played by Ed Harris. What is going on?...

In recent years we have seen a number of films that are clearly inspired by the works of the legendary director Alfred Hitchcock. Just last year, not one but two films were released that carried visual and narrative traits that were all too common in the work of the master of suspense. Both Side Effects and Stoker transformed the idea of a Hitchcock thriller for modern audiences while still clearly letting their respected director’s voices be heard.
This certainly isn’t the case with Matthew McDuffie and Arie Posin’s story of a mournful widow. As the film opens, we see Nikki (Annette Bening) coping with the death of her husband Garrett (Ed Harris). Flashbacks to happier times still haunt her as she attempts to move on five years after his death. When visiting an art museum one afternoon she sees what appears to be her husband sitting in front of her.

What would happen if you saw someone with an uncanny resemblance to a late friend or family member? How would you react? Filmmaker Arie Posin’s mother had a close encounter with a man who looked eerily like her late husband, and the director was so intrigued by this story that he wrote a screenplay, with Matthew McDuffie, about the peculiar situation.
Titled The Face of Love, Posin’s film opened in theatres last Friday after a festival run that included stops in Toronto and San Sebastian. It tells the story of Nikki (Annette Bening), a widow who falls in love with an artist named Tom (Ed Harris), who looks exactly like her late husband.
Posin is an Israeli-born director who lived in Canada before moving to Los Angeles and heading to film school at the University of Southern California. The Face of Love marks his second film, after 2005’s coming-of-age indie comedy The Chumscrubber.

Love can be a terrible thing. Sharing a life with someone, building a home together, getting married, having children and merging identities to near incongruous levels are all part of the sacrificing and lifetime decision-making one does when finding “the one.” Imagine being so entwined with your better half for years, only to suddenly lose them forever. The waves of shock and horror must be overwhelming because you didn't just lose the love of your life, your partner and your lover. You've also lost a big part of yourself and you somehow have to find the courage to pick up the pieces, move on and decide how to lock up your memories in the dusty drawers of your mind without throwing away the key.

One the surface "The Face of Love," starring Annette Bening and Ed Harris, looks like a studio-made romance. But as writer-director Arie Posin recounts below in a first person essay, the film is anything but. Using some ingenious methods, and thanks to a great team, Posin was able to make his indie about a widow (Bening) who's world is turned upside down when she meets her late husband's double, look a lot more expensive than it actually cost to make. The film is currently out in select theaters and is available to watch On Demand. Movies are illusions. Filmmakers want you to believe what you are seeing up there on the big screen has actually happened or is happening or at least could happen at some point in time. In expensive tentpole-type movies, this illusion is often created by throwing money at the problem. Expensive and intensely gifted artists are...

If The Face of Love proves anything, it is that Annette Bening is still one of the finest American actors working today. In Arie Posin’s new drama, which boasts shades of Douglas Sirk and an attempted Hitchcockian suspense, she gives everything to the role of Nikki Lostrom, a lonesome widow who pursues a relationship with a man who has an uncanny resemblance to her late husband.
In the opening scene, Nikki sits, sullen and anguished, by the pool of her immaculate Los Angeles home, gripping a glass of wine as she remembers finding her husband Garrett (Ed Harris) dead, strewn on the beach after drowning during a trip to Mexico. Distracted by these harrowing memories, she drops the wine glass. Picking up the pieces of broken glass, Nikki does not even grimace, even when she grips the shards so tightly her hand starts bleeding. Bening is a fearless actor...

The Face Of Love is the story of a man and his double and questions what it is that we love in another's face. Annette Bening plays Nicki, a woman whose job it is to stage houses in Los Angeles so that they seem lived in for prospective buyers. Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo casts long shadows over the scenery and director Arie Posin, with deft strokes, uses them as mirror and deceit.

Arie Posin's romantic drama tips its hand when we see that protagonist Nikki (Annette Bening), a widowed interior decorator, has chosen posters for Andrei Tarkovsky's Nostalghia and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo for the house she's currently sprucing up. This is moments before she first sees Tom (Ed Harris), a dead ringer for Nikki's late husband, Garrett (also Harris).
The Face of Love is also a few color gels away from being this decade's remake of Douglas Sirk's All That Heaven Allows, as Nikki embarks on a relationship with Tom that doesn't defy contemporary taboos about age or ethnicity but instead is borderline necrophilic, while she lies to Tom about her past and tries to hide him from her adult daughter, Summer (Jess Weixler), and Nikki's lovesi...

“The Face of Love” (opening March 7 in Los Angeles) traffics in the kind of audacious premise — five years after her husband dies, a woman meets his exact look-alike — that Pedro Almodóvar could have really turned into something provocative and meaningful. In the hands of “Chumscrubber” director Arie Posin (who co-wrote with Matthew McDuffie), the results are gooey and half-baked, with plot contrivances butting up against genteel design porn. Annette Bening stars as Nikki, a “stager” of houses; she makes them look lived-in so as to attract potential buyers. Her own home is a gorgeous little L.A. jewel...

After premiering at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, the second chance romance The Face of Love is coming to theaters this spring. With a plot that seems reminiscent of the mostly forgotten 2004 film P.S. starring Laura Linney and Topher Grace, the film follows a widow (Annette Bening) of five years who meets a man that appears to be her late husband (Ed Harris). From his looks to his personality, it's like falling in love with her husband all over again. But soon the secret she keeps about her deceased husband and concerned family make things complicated. Now the first trailer is here and it looks rather compelling. Robin Williams also has a small role in the film which could be a nice spring release. Watch the trailer!

Arie Posin’s (The Chumscrubber) upcoming drama The Face of Love stars Annette Bening as a grieving widow who happens upon Ed Harris who looks almost exactly like her deceased husband. Not only does this stranger possess the same deeply lined face and startling blue eyes, he also shares Garrett’s kindness, humor, and passion for art. This could get creepy here if, no wait, they do.
The film also stars Robin Williams and opens in select theaters on March 7th followed by a VOD release March 13th.

Before We Saw the Trailer, We Thought: While a film about a blossoming romance between a woman and the doppelganger of her deceased husband may veer into the absurd, "The Face of Love," which premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, is interesting in that it offers the perspective of a woman who has already lived much of her life. Director-writer Arie Posin, who previously directed the relatively unseen and lackluster 2005 film "The Chumscrubber," about a sequence of events that occur in a small town following the death of a teenage drug dealer, returns with a more developed premise.For more indie film trailers check out Indiewire's trailer page, sponsored by Sony Pictures Classics. And Now? Four-time Oscar nominated actress Annette Bening, who last appeared in Sally Potter's moving "Ginger & Rosa," stars as a woman who has recently lost her husband (Ed Harris) of 30 years, the love of her life,...

For his most recent film The Face of Love, director Arie Posin worked with a trio of amazing actors . Ed Harris, Robin Williams and Annette Bening . all of whom are between 55 and 65 years old. His next film, Duchess, also has a middle-aged character at its center, and Glenn Close has signed on for the lead part. While ageism is obviously alive and well in Hollywood, it.s great to see youngish directors keeping such elite thespians working. A young actress wouldn.t even work here, as Close will be portraying Anna Anderson, the formerly institutionalized Prussian woman who changed her name and claimed to be the Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Alexandra, who was long thought to have been killed along with the rest of her family in 1918. Even though she was proven to be an imposter, public opinion and media outlets kept...

Famous for playing French noblewoman the Marquise de Merteuil in Dangerous Liaisons, Glenn Close will next play the Russian grand duchess Anastasia Romanov in The Duchess... except it's not quite that simple. Close will actually be playing Anna Anderson, one of several imposters who claimed to be Anastasia in the decades before the fact of her 1918 assassination was finally proved. Arie Posin (The Chumscrubber) will direct this new version of Anderson's story.If you're unfamiliar with the history, Anastasia was killed along with most of her family, including her sisters and father Tsar Nicholas II, by the Bolshevik secret police in July, 1918. But the location of her death remained unknown (only finally discovered in 2007), leading to rumours of her escape that endured for decades - immortalised, among other things, in the cartoon Anastasia in the 1990s.Anderson was institutionalised in Berlin after a suicide attempt in 1920, and began claiming she...

The spotlight was shining brightly on Annette Bening Tuesday night, but if the veteran actress certainly didn't show any signs of feeling the heat. As part of AFI Fest's Conversations programs, Bening was honored at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood Tuesday evening for her distinguished body of work as well as her upcoming feature, "The Face of Love." Bening arrived in an elegant all black ensemble, but started the conversation with a laugh before reminding herself, "No, this is serious." Still, the four-time Oscar nominee kept the mood light throughout the 45-minute discussion while providing thoughtful answers to Arie Posin's (the evening's moderator and Bening's director for "The Face of Love") questions on acting, her career, and her future. Following the Q&A, audience members were treated to a surprise screening of "The Face of Love." Bening shared quite a few valuable insights, especially for fellow actors. Below are the highlights of her conversation.

The fare on offer at the Spanish film festival underlines film-makers' enduring fascination with the doppelganger
The San Sebastián film festival is in its fourth day, and if there's a theme emerging, it's this: doubles, mirror images, doppelgangers. All over the festival, actors are bumping enigmatically into themselves.
In Arie Posin's The Face of Love, Annette Bening plays a woman whose husband (Ed Harris) tragically dies: some time later, she finds herself attracted to a man with a striking resemblance to her late partner, played of course by Ed Harris. In Denis Villeneuve's Enemy, Jake Gyllenhaal plays a regular guy with a regular life who bumps into a minor-league actor with an uncanny resemblance to him: Gyllenhaal again.

It's not too uncommon for multiple movies to be floating around with the same name before someone blinks or decides to be nice to those setting up their queues on Netflix. It probably gets more attention in the world of the studio movies then it does in that of indies, but every once in a while, two movies crop up at the same time with the same name and start playing the Name Game. (For instance, who would have thought that there might be two movies called "Chef"?) Arie Posin finally got around to making his follow-up to The Chumscrubber last year with a movie called Look of Love , which stars Annette Bening, Robin Williams and Ed Harris,but nothing much seemed to be happening with it. Then back in January, the latest reunion of Michael Winterbottom and Steve Coogan...
