[_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/tag/game-of-thrones/ "undefined")‘ Emilia Clarke sheds her Khaleesi warrior gear for bumblebee tights as Louisa Clark, a British woman so desperate for a job she agrees to care for a disabled man despite having no experience doing so. Sam Caflin, most recently known as Finnick in [_The Hunger Games_](http://time.com/4036204/jennifer-lawrence-hunger-games-prim/ "undefined"), plays William Traynor, a quadriplegic, whose adventurous life was brought to a halt after a motorcycle accident. Moyes worked on the screenplay with Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, who have adapted other tearful love stories like [_The Fault in Our Stars_](http://time.com/2815729/book-to-movie-adaptations-screenwriters/ "undefined") for the big screen. The movie stars a trove of British actors like _Doctor Who_‘s Jenna Coleman, _Harry Potter_‘s Matthew Lewis, _Game of Thrones_‘ Charles Dance and _Downton Abbey_‘s Brendan Coyle. It’s set to hit theaters on June 3. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4206130/me-before-you-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4206130/me-before-you-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch Emilia Clarke in the Me Before You Trailer","datePublished":"2016-02-03T16:32:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T14:43:26.161Z","description":"The heartbreaking love story hits theaters in June","url":"https://time.com/4206130/me-before-you-trailer/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"ashley Ross","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-ross/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4206130/me-before-you-trailer/","name":"Watch Emilia Clarke in the Me Before You Trailer"}}]}] ```
