The Cannes Film Festival is revving up, and promotion has begun on Wong Kar Wai’s debut English language film, My Blueberry Nights. Yesterday we posted a new set of [1] production photos. Today we have the theatrical teaser trailer. Alas, no Natalie Portman or Rachel Weisz footage to be found. But it’s worth the peep none the less. There is a lot of buzz around this film at the festival leading up to it’s premiere.

Official Plot Synopsis:

After a rough break-up, Elizabeth (played by songstress Norah Jones in her screen debut) sets out on a journey across America, leaving behind a life of memories, a dream and a soulful new friend - a café owner (Jude Law) - all while in search of something to mend her broken heart. Waitressing her way through the country, Elizabeth befriends others whose yearnings are greater than hers, including a troubled cop (David Strathairn) and his estranged wife (Rachel Weisz) and a down-on-her luck gambler (Natalie Portman) with a score to settle.

Through these individuals, Elizabeth witnesses the true depths of loneliness and emptiness, and begins to understand that her own journey is part of a greater exploration within herself.
