New Pictures and Introspective First Clip for ‘Before Midnight’

Call me a sucker for a good love story, but you won’t find a better one than Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Luckily, the third in the franchise (again directed by Richard Linklater), Before Midnight, is just up around the bend.

Set to release May 24, 2013 in limited release, Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) are back at it. Judging by the first clip (which you can view below), Midnight has a similar feel (especially to Before Sunset). What makes the stories work is the chemistry between Hawke and Delpy and the dialogue-first approach to storytelling. The entire thing feels introspective and, most importantly, genuine.

A poster and trailer were made available last week, but we’ve also rounded-up some pictures. Those are available below!
