Yelchin: Like Crazy
1 min readAnton Yelchin will be seen later this month in Like Crazy, a film where Yelchin had to improvise his dialogue when it came to his character Jacob.
In Like Crazy, British student Anna (Felicity Jones), meets and falls in love with Jacob (Yelchin) while attending college in California. She overstays her visa to be with Jacob for a while longer but long-term this has the effect of getting her banned from the U.S. and the pair must then struggle with maintaining a long-distance relationship and fighting the legal battles Anna must endure while trying to return to the U.S.
Unlike most movies, the dialogue in Like Crazy was not set in stone, but was mostly in an outline format. The actors had to improvise when it came to their characters.
Like Crazy took the Grand Jury Prize at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and has received rave reviews.
Like Crazy will be released on October 28 in Los Angeles and New York.
