Lionsgate has released a swinging new La La Land TV spot along with the first single “City of Stars” (via Variety) featuring the movie’s own stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone! Check both videos out below!
Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Damien Chazelle (Whiplash), the film tells the story of Mia (Stone), an aspiring actress, and Sebastian (Gosling), a dedicated jazz musician, who are struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts.
