Get ready to buy tissues in bulk, because this film is an instant tearjerker. On Wednesday (Feb. 3), Warner Bros. Pictures finally released the official trailer for the film adaptation of Me Before You. The film stars Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay actor Sam Claflin in this romantic drama. To get a taste of what's to come, check out the first full trailer below.
Me Before You tells the story of two characters with two completely different personalities and views on life. Will Traynor (Claflin) was an adventure-seeking successful young man, before a motorcycle accident left him a depressed, wheelchair-bound quadriplegic. After losing her beloved job in a cafe, Louisa Clark (Clarke) is soon hired to be Will's caretaker for six months.
Despite getting off to a rocky start during the beginning of her employment, the two soon find common ground. As Louisa tries to show Will the fun he could have despite his handicap, the two form a strong bond that no one would expect. The story isn't your average love story though. Will is hiding a major secret that could change everything.

The 29-year-old Mother of Dragons was instantly drawn to her character, after devouring the best-selling novel while on the set of Genisys. The storyline of the book moved her to tears. Clarke instantly connected with Louisa and fought hard to convince the director she'd be perfect for the role.
"Actors cannot invest too much in auditions. It's too heartbreaking if you don't get it," Clarke told USA Today. "But this one I was like, 'I'm doing it.' I was madly into it. Every fiber of me felt like someone had written me down."
The novel was originally written by Jojo Moyes in 2012 and a sequel titled, After You, was published in 2015. It was adapted by screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. Thea Sharrock is the appointed director of the film.
Me Before You is scheduled to open in theaters this spring on June 3, 2016.
