BBG News

Science fiction stories set after a global catastrophe have consistently captivated audiences. It’s intriguing to witness how fictional disasters reshape the lives of characters, particularly those who survive. This year brought an unusual perspective on this theme with the release of “Love Me,” a post-apocalyptic film featuring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun. Sci-fi enthusiasts or fans of these actors have something to look forward to as Paramount+ confirmed that the movie will be available on their streaming service on June 16, 2025.

The film titled “Love Me” made its debut at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival’s U.S. Dramatic Competition in January, winning the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize. It hit U.S. theaters on January 31, 2025, following the announcement that ShivHans Pictures and Bleecker Street would release it. WME Independent secured the international distribution rights for the movie. Intriguingly, this film tells the story of a buoy and a satellite who meet online post-human extinction, and will be streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime thanks to Bleecker Street’s ongoing partnership with the service. Along their shared journey, characters Me/Deja (Stewart) and Iam/Liam (Yeun) uncover what life on earth was like for humans, helping them understand their identities, the essence of love, and life itself – possibly even finding reasons to smile.

As a devoted admirer, I can confidently say that “Love Me” is an innovative fusion of animation and live-action, marking the impressive debut of the dynamic duo, Sam and Andy Zuchero. This captivating production was brought to life by the collective efforts of ShivHans Pictures, 2AM, AgX, Kevin Rowe, Luca Borghese, Ben Howe, Shivani Rawat, and Julie Goldstein. In a heartfelt conversation with Indie Wire in February, the talented duo Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun discussed how “Love Me” doesn’t aim to make a bold statement about AI. Instead, as shared by Stewart, this movie is elusive, proving difficult to categorize.

The film is rather elusive, in an intriguing manner, making it challenging to categorize. This appears intentional, as the movie seems to resist definition. It’s tough to discuss during interviews, and even on set, we often found ourselves questioning if we were discussing the same aspects, almost like delving into existential questions. That’s why we create movies – to explore such complexities. To me, it was a refreshing change.

Why Kristen Stewart Chose to Join the “Odd” Sci-Fi Outing

It’s always intriguing to discover the motivations behind an actor’s choice of a particular project. Kristen Stewart’s filmography is noteworthy due to her refusal to be limited by Hollywood stereotypes following her role as Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga. She joined the cast of “Love Me” due to its unique narrative and poignant, deeply human theme.

I found the idea of being part of a film that begins as a solitary voice, gradually transforms into a whimsical animated scene – reflecting many human experiences – and then progresses with unconventional makeup and an unusual portrayal of humanity, intriguing. The climax involves shooting in 35mm and genuine physical contact. I found this entire process fascinating because it explores the complexities of connection and our desperate desire for it, despite all the changes we undergo to get closer to others and ourselves. This role felt bold to me, as it acknowledged that truth is fleeting rather than trying to make a groundbreaking statement.
