Harry Styles tries to conjure some chemistry in the trailer for My Policeman

It’s time to take a step away from the drama of Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling and remember there’s another Harry Styles film on the way: Michael Grandage’s My Policeman. In the full trailer, we see Styles fruitlessly create some chemistry with his fellow co-stars in a film all about love, desire, and longing. For a film that boasts inspiration from Hiroshima Mon Amour, there’s very little spark between the singer-turned-actor and his co-leads, at least in this trailer.

Styles stars in My Policeman as Tom, a police officer who finds himself caught in a love triangle with his wife, schoolteacher Marion (Emma Corrin), and museum curator Patrick (David Dawson) in 1950s Britain. Styles’ character goes on about the deep feelings of love and the sanctity of marriage while trying to keep his feelings about Patrick hidden and uphold the law against homosexuality.

We later meet the three in the ‘90s, as Tom and Marion take in Patrick after he suffers from a stroke. The older versions of the characters are played by Linus Roache, Gina McKee, and Rupert Everett.
