In today’s status driven world, “Playing It Cool”
comes at the most opportune of time with a very simple, classic yet relatable
theme on love – Chris Evans plays a writer, disillusioned by love, was suddenly
tasked by his publisher to write a rom-com novel. Not only does it hamper his next book’s

even more surprised to realize that he’s falling head over heels to someone
(Michelle Monaghan) who is already
engaged.
This
generation’s signature story, “Playing It Cool,” written by Chris Schafer and
Paul Vicknair have penned a story that will move audiences around the world – a

and in love, and through a series of well crafted vignettes that are scattered
throughout the film, we’re offered glimpses into the mind of our hero as he
resolves his emotions through these highly imaginative and comedic escapes from
reality.

Nicolas Chartier couldn’t be more excited to release the film, “I love this
film and am honored to have the opportunity to produce it alongside my
partners. Our audiences demand compelling storytelling, fresh thinking, and
above all, authenticity. Playing It Cool delivers on all of these levels –
creating an honest portrayal of the difficulty of love and life, told in a way
that leaves all of us feeling refreshed and ultimately…optimistic.”
The
movie began filming in late 2012 in Los Angeles, California. The producers of
“Playing it Cool,” Voltage Pictures and Wonderland Sound and Vision have
created a film that was already talk of the town. Chris Evans has been
reportedly excited during the start of the filming because he will be working
again with Anthony Mackie for the third time. It was remembered that both of
them starred together in movies "What's Your Number" and
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier." Also, Ioan Graffud would be
Chris Evans is reuniting friend as both have starred in the 'Fantastic Four'
series.
Chris Evans and Michelle Monaghan
have really complicated feelings in the film. Making him fall for her, not
knowing at first that it will be all unrequited love for she is already engaged
to someone else. What makes it more complicated is that, the Narrator (Evans)
does not believe in love and commitment until he met and known her along the
way that they have been together. The movie depicts the usual setup of lovers
around the globe; the love that has been unrequited by someone else and a lot
more complicated issues why two people can't be together in a more evident and
apparent reason.
This
pre-holiday’s date movie, “Playing It Cool” opens December 17 in cinemas
nationwide (Pioneer Films distributes).
