The rom-com follows a separated couple taking their dog on vacation to cheer him up.
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
As any film buff will tell you, you can always count on Zooey Deschanel (New Girl) to participate in some indie movie with awkward, adorably cute characters and comedic storylines. Her newest project is Merv, a romantic comedy she’ll star alongside Marvel star Charlie Cox (Daredevil: Born Again). In the story, Cox and Deschanel play a separated couple who are forced to resume contact after they discover the dog they own is suffering from depression. The movie is yet to get a release date.
First announced back in March, Merv got a first-look image today. It shows the couple at the beach with Merv the dog sitting next to them. The twist in the story is that Merv’s depression is directly connected to the couple’s break-up so that motivates both of them to take the dog on a vacation to lift the animal’s spirits. The question is, will they be able to stand each other during this vacation? Or will they rekindle their romance on the whirlwind getaway? We’ll have to wait for a trailer to speculate more.
