Fans react hilariously to first look at Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun in sci-fi romance LOVE ME

The most out-of-this-world pair in Hollywood has formed with Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun voicing a buoy and a satellite, respectively, in the movie Love Me. Unlike all those typical rom-coms—now really, who wants to watch just plain and ordinary humans in love?—this one has a myriad of artificial intelligence, digital avatars, and post-apocalyptic flair.

First things first, the debut still for the film has dropped, and it's exactly what you’d expect when you think technologically advanced buoy meets lone satellite. The buoy floats aimlessly in an endless ocean, staring (or metaphorically staring) at a glowing satellite orbiting above.

Deep, right? Not just deep, but also prime material for meme generators everywhere.

Of course, X (formerly Twitter) didn’t let this slide without a few laughs. One user joked,

“They’re unrecognizable”.

Another chimed in, “A satellite & buoy? Am I reading that correctly?”

A user gave a virtual side-eye to the whole situation:

A user humorously said: "A buoy and a satellite can find love but not you anon."

"In read the second sentence three times. Then I burst into laughter", a comment read.

"Still a better love story than Twilight", another comment read.

A user mentioned: "We have to stop letting AI write scripts!"

Overview of Love Me

Love Me is the brainchild of Sam and Andy Zuchero, a husband-and-wife directing duo who clearly don’t believe in playing according to the usual movie rules.

Set to drop in theaters on January 31, 2025, the film paints a world where humans are long gone, and the only traces of humanity left are… well, technology.

Stewart voices the buoy, who goes by “Me,” only to upgrade herself later to “Deja.” Yeun, on the other hand, is the satellite “Iam,” who eventually becomes “Liam”.

As these two sentient machines, Me and Iam, connect online, they go on a journey to discover what it would mean to live, love, and possibly survive in a world that's lost its human touch.

They will also dive deep into archived internet footage to piece together the complex puzzle of existence.

Expect plenty of introspection, existential dilemmas, and a touch of humor that somehow makes the whole thing feel relatable.

A film that feels big and small at the same time

Now, what’s even more intriguing is the heart of the film—its themes of connection, love, and identity. The Zucheros will investigate these topics in the context of artificial intelligence.

What does it mean to be alive, to love, and to search for meaning? Is it enough to be a floating object in the middle of nowhere if you’re trying to find a deeper connection?

The Zucheros themselves put it perfectly when they told People the film will make you feel both "big and small at the same time."

"It’s the story of two completely new beings — the A.I. in two machines — who evolve into virtual avatars and then into flesh and blood humans."

Love Me trailer sneak peek

And if you were thinking the trailer might be all heavy philosophical vibes and no fun, think again. It’s got some quirky moments that will have you grinning.

The buoy and satellite figuring out how to move in together and create a virtual world. Their evolution from AI avatars to actual humanoids isn’t just thought-provoking—it’s kind of hilarious too.

In the end, Love Me promises to be a mind-bending, yet strangely heartwarming ride through a digital universe where love and connection are all that’s left.

Is this the future of romance? Only time—and maybe a satellite—will tell.
