News stills from Ruby Sparks, by the directors of Little Miss Sunshine

Ruby Sparks looks set to be an indie comedy chock full of charm. Not that we’d expect anything less from the directors of Little Miss Sunshine.

Up and comer, and co-writer, Zoe Kazan stars as Mz Ruby Sparks alongside Paul Dano, Alia Shawkat, Annette Bening, Steve Coogan, and Antonio Banderas.

Ruby Sparks hits UK screens October 12.

Here’s what it’s about:

Calvin (Paul Dano) is a young novelist who achieved phenomenal success early in his career but is now struggling with his writing – as well as his romantic life. Finally, he makes a breakthrough and creates a character named Ruby who inspires him. When Calvin finds Ruby (Zoe Kazan), in the flesh, sitting on his couch about a week later, he is completely flabbergasted that his words have turned into a living, breathing person.
