The Idea of You trailer has everything: boy band drama, an age-gap romance, Coachella, and Anne Hathaway romancing Harry Styles. OK, not the actual Harry Styles, but rather Harry Styles analog Hayes Campbell, played by Red, White & Royal Blue's Nicholas Galitzine.

The Harry Styles of it all comes from The Idea of You's source material, the novel of the same name by Robinne Lee, which is in turn based on Harry Styles fanfiction. The novel centers on 40-year-old single mom Solène (Hathaway), who strikes up a romance with the 24-year-old Hayes after a chance meeting at Coachella. (He's performing there with his band August Moon, who are totally not One Direction.)

But as Solène and Hayes' relationship comes under public scrutiny, will these two star-crossed lovers be able to stay together? Or will naysayers drag them down? And perhaps most importantly, will August Moon release any bops as great as "What Makes You Beautiful"?

The Idea of You premieres March 16 at SXSW, and hits Prime Video May 2.
