“Crazy Kind of Love” Trailer + Limited Release on May 31st

Hello! A while back the trailer for Aly’s movie “Crazy Kind of Love” (aka “Long Time Gone”) was released. She isn’t in the trailer unfortunately, but you can check it out below. Several sites are saying the movie will have a limited release in select theaters on May 31st, with a wider release later this year, not sure how accurate it is though as there hasn’t been much of any news. You can also check out some stills that have been released here (not of them feature Aly though).
