A Rainy Day in New York

MPI Media Group and Signature Entertainment is  releasing Woody Allen’s “A Rainy Day in New York” on VOD, digital and Blu-ray/DVD Tuesday Nov. 10.

Allen has gathered a splendid cast, featuring some of Hollywood’s most promising young stars including Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet (“Call Me by Your Name,” “Little Women”), Elle Fanning (“The Roads Not Taken,” “The Beguiled”) and Selena Gomez (“The Dead Don’t Die,” “Spring Breakers”).

“A Rainy Day in New York” tells the story of college sweethearts, Gatsby (Chalamet) and Ashleigh (Fanning), whose plans for a romantic weekend together in New York City are dashed as quickly as the sunlight turns into showers. The two are soon parted, and each has a series of chance meetings and comical adventures while on their own. Over the course of a dreamy and drizzly day in New York, Ashleigh discovers she might not be who she thought she was and Gatsby learns that while you only live once, once is enough if you find the right person.

Yet to fulfill their rock and roll destiny, the now middle-aged best friends set out on a new adventure when a visitor from the future warns them that only their song can save life as we know it.
