Though romantic comedies have always been in vogue, really good ones are hard to find. Lately, there has been a hue and cry from the audience to deliver the perfect rom-com, and answering these prayers is soon arriving: one of the most anticipated movies of this year, Materialists, starring triple-threat A-listers Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson, and Pedro Pascal. The trailer has already promised a war for love as the male leads, belonging to different parts of society, compete for Johnson’s favor, with the lady hitting it off with both of them.

As per the director, however, their electrifying chemistry travels beyond the screen, and the trio proved to be hard to separate.

Materialists is about to hit the theaters on June 13, and before that, the director, Celine Song, sat down with Empire to talk about it. Speaking about how there was no keeping Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal apart, Song shared, “They’re just so into each other.” The director also revealed that to evolve the interplay between the leads, they were trying to be specific about the chemistry between them as characters, too, as she was operating with the objective of a different goal for each scene.

Celine Song’s last directorial work was Past Lives, in which she kept actors apart, including Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro. As they had brief contact with each other until filming, the scenes were an explosion of raw emotions as they navigated the story of long-separated characters and distant romantic entanglements. For Materialists, Song has a different view as she focuses on Dakota Johnson’s character Lucy and her dilemma of love.

Contributing to the lady’s character, Celine Song also revealed how her own firsthand experience in New York taught her a lot.

Being a true artist, Celine Song, who has spent six months in the Big Apple making love stories come true as a matchmaker, brought this experience to the movie. Not only did her stint give her genuine admiration for those who used the service, but, in her words, it taught her so much about people, which she did in no other part of her life. Interacting with people, she got to see that love is all humans want, recalling, “People will just tell you what’s in their hearts,” and what they meant was, “I want to fall in love,” something which fans hope to see in the movie.

Materialists will have the New York matchmaker Lucy exploring her romantic options, which is a classic tussle between the broke but lovely-hearted Chris Evans’ John and rich golden boy Pedro Pascal’s Harry. The movie has already been grabbing attention. While the on-screen kisses have left the fans swooning, they also cannot get over the flawless and sparkling chemistry of promotional events and appearances, just as Celine Song described.
