In the last few weeks, you watched trailers for movies starring Ewan McGregor and trailers for movies starring Emily Blunt. But the two together? Oh, that was just a dream. But today, our brief national nightmare is over: witness the trailer for Salmon Fishing in Yemen, a rom-com-dram that stars both McGregor and Blunt. McGregor plays a fisheries expert who seeks to introduce salmon fishing to Yemen, while Blunt is the no nonsense government official who brings him to the country. Predictable hijinks ensue, and the two fall in love.


Based off a 2007 novel, it's been adapted by the screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire, hence the inspiring words placed over the montage of inspiring scenes. Sometimes that's all you need, you know? McGregor and Blunt are just a boy and a girl, talking about fish, talking about love, mixing work with pleasure and all good things in between. Learning about the world, learning about themselves. It's so inspirational, I'm getting ready to believe in life again.

Directed by Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, all of the good ABBA music videos), Yemen will come out next March. You can get ready by watching all of those ABBA music videos, every one of them.
