First THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR Trailer Witness the first THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR trailer! The film, directed by Ry Russo-Young (Before I Fall), stars Yara Shahidi, Charles Melton, and Gbenga Akinnagbe. THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR will be released in theaters on May 17. Natasha is a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. She is not the type of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when her family is twelve hours away from being deported. Falling in love with him will not be her story. Daniel has always been the good son, the good student, living up to his parents’ high expectations. Never a poet. Or a dreamer. But when he sees her, he forgets all that. Something about Natasha makes him think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store – for both of them. Every moment has brought them to this single moment. A million futures lie before them. Which one will come true?
