After: Meet Tessa and Steph in This Exclusive Clip From the Film

2019-04-03 49

The first trailer for After dropped way back in November and immediately caused quite a stir. The sultry preview of the One Direction fan-fiction-turned-bestselling-novel's adaptation wastes no time turning up the heat between strait-laced college student Tessa (Josephine Langford) and the tattooed bad boy, Hardin Scott (Hero Fiennes-Tiffin), whom she falls for. Now we have a brand new exclusive clip for you to check out that will give you a better sense of what Tessa's all about.


In the footage above, she gets ready for a party with her friend, Steph (Khadijha Red Thunder), who isn't afraid to let her know that the red lace dress she's chosen is a little, um, formal. But Tessa isn't about to sacrifice her taste anytime soon.


After is based on writer Anna Todd's story, which was originally about Harry Styles - yes, that Harry Styles - when it debuted on Wattpad, quickly becoming a phenomenon with millions of passionate readers. Naturally, the name of the male character had to be tweaked (although he still bears the same HS initials), but it seems the core plot remains. Watch the clip above before the film hits theaters on April 12!
