Hector And The Search For Happiness – Watch the Official Trailer on Apple!

Relativity Studios has released the OFFICIAL TRAILER for the upcoming comedy, HECTOR AND THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS. Based on the best-selling novel by Francois Lelord, HECTOR AND THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS is directed by Peter Chelsom and features an all-star cast lead by Simon Pegg.

Hector (Simon Pegg) is a quirky psychiatrist who has become increasingly tired of his humdrum life. As he tells his girlfriend, Clara (Rosamund Pike), he feels like a fraud: he hasn’t really tasted life, and yet he’s offering advice to patients who are just not getting any happier. So Hector decides to break out of his deluded and routine driven life. Armed with buckets of courage and child-like curiosity, he embarks on a global quest in hopes of uncovering the elusive secret formula for true happiness. And so begins a larger than life adventure with riotously funny results. Based on the world-wide best-selling novel of the same name, Hector and the Search for Happiness is a rich, exhilarating, and hilarious tale from director Peter Chelsom, starring Simon Pegg, Toni Collette, Rosamund Pike, Stellan Skarsgård, Jean Reno and Christopher Plummer.

“We should concern ourselves not so much with the pursuit of happiness, but with the happiness of the pursuit.” Professor Coreman (Christopher Plummer)

On behalf of Relativity, we are also pleased to announce that HECTOR AND THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS will be premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival on the evening of September 7th.
