Lainey Wilson appears in the newly-debuted trailer for Reminders of Him, an upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hooverâs 2022 novel.
Kenna, the main character of the romance-drama, âmakes an unbearable mistake that sends her to prison.â She returns to her Wyoming hometown seven years later with hopes of reconnecting with her young daughter, Diem. However, Diemâs âcustodial grandparents adamantly refuse,â per the movieâs description. Kenna develops a âsecret romanceâ with local bar owner, Ledger, which leads her to âheartbreak and, ultimately, the hope for a second chance.â
Wilson appears in a scene with Maika Monroe, who plays Kenna, in the trailer that released on Tuesday (October 21). The 59th CMA Awards host, who made her acting debut in Yellowstone, asked the protagonist, âwhatâs your trauma?â
âI canât get a job because I just got out of prison,â Monroe replied.
âSh*t, you win,â Wilson declared.
âThis was the first opportunity Iâve had where I wasnât a musician,â Wilson said of her upcoming role in a previous interview with iHeartCountry. âAnd so, I had said after I did Yellowstone, I was like, âOK, the next thing I do, Iâd like to kind of step outside of my comfort zone and try something Iâve never done.â So, this gave me an opportunity to do that, and it was fun. It was, you know, Iâm not gonna say easy, but it was like a fun challenge. And Iâm excited to do more of it, whatever that looks like.â
Jennifer Robertson, Bradley Whitford, Lauren Graham, Tyriq Withers, Rudy Pankow, Nicholas Duvernay and others also appear in the cast of the film, which is directed by Vanessa Caswill. Reminders of Him is set to premiere in theaters on March 13.
