Get to know Josephine Langford, the breakout star of 'After'
The highly anticipated film After has just released its first trailer starring Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes Tiffin (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince), and it's ~steamy~ as heck.
The film is adaptation of the hugely popular five-book YA series After by Anna Todd, who sold the movie rights to Paramount Pictures in 2014. Langford was cast and announced as the female lead in July 2018.

The flick -- which also stars Selma Blair, Jennifer Beals and Peter Gallagher -- is set to be released in April 2019.
After follows the journey of self discovery and sexual awakening of Tessa Young (Langford), a young woman entering university and leaving behind -- but remaining loyal to -- her high school sweetheart.
She meets the brooding, mysterious and British Hardin Scott (Fiennes Tiffin) and her life changes forever.

An interesting fact: After is the product of Harry Styles fanfiction. When Anna Todd published the first book, she changed Harry Styles' name to Hardin Scott.
