(Written for HeyUGuys)

Upcoming drama Now Is Good has a new poster this week. Starring Dakota Fanning (The Twilight Saga) alongside Jeremy Irvine (War Horse), it may not be the most exciting of film art, but the film is sure to pull a heart string or two.

Directed by Ol Parker, Fanning plays 17-year-old Tessa who, diagnosed with terminal cancer, compiles a list of things she’d like to do before she dies, determined to experience some regular teen thrills whilst she still has the chance, top of the list being to lose her virginity (I think that’s where Irvine comes in!).
