Watch the first trailer for Warner Bros.’s Her, a sci-fi romance directed by Spike Jonze and starring Joaquin Phoenix as a man who falls in love with an advanced Siri-like operating system named “Samantha” played by Scarlett Johansson, who reportedly replaced Samantha Morton earlier this year. According to the official synopsis, the film, Jonze’s first narrative feature since 2009’s Where the Wild Things Are, “explores the evolving nature—and the risks—of intimacy in the modern world.”
Her, which also stars Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, and Olivia Wilde, opens in select cities on November 20th. Check out the poster, in which Phoenix looks a little like vintage Tom Selleck:
