Warner Bros. Pictures has released the second trailer for writer-director Spike Jonze‘s romantic drama Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson as operating system ‘Samantha.’
The story follows Phoenix as a lonely, heartbroken man struggling after a bad break-up, until he connects with Samantha, the new operating system of his mobile device (Johansson’s outstanding voice-over performance).
The new trailer for a ‘tender, funny, and touching’ film explains it a little better than we can while also revealing a refreshingly warm performance by Phoenix.
Opening in theaters in limited release on December 18th, 2013, Her also stars Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, and Olivia Wilde.
Falling in love is kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity.

Synopsis:
Set in Los Angeles, slightly in the future, Her follows Theodore Twombly, a complex, soulful man who makes his living writing touching, personal letters for other people. Heartbroken after the end of a long relationship, he becomes intrigued with a new, advanced operating system, which promises to be an intuitive entity in its own right, individual to each user. Upon initiating it, he is delighted to meet “Samantha,” a bright, female voice, who is insightful, sensitive and surprisingly funny. As her needs and desires grow, in tandem with his own, their friendship deepens into an eventual love for each other. From the unique perspective of Oscar-nominated filmmaker Spike Jonze comes an original love story that explores the evolving nature—and the risks—of intimacy in the modern world.
