“Here we go again.”
That’s what Liam Neeson‘s character states in the opening moments of the trailer for the Love Actually sequel, Red Nose Day Actually, which seems to have retained all of the charm of the first film.

Director Richard Curtis managed to corral the all-star ensemble cast for another go at his anthology about love in promotion of Red Nose Day, a fund raising event to raise awareness to prevent child poverty.
Red Nose Day Actually will air on NBC on Thursday, May 25, to kick off the event, giving a glimpse back into the stories and lives of the original characters from the hit 2003 romantic comedy.
The sequel short film stars original cast members Neeson, Keira Knightley, Andrew Lincoln, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, and Bill Nighy. The late Alan Rickman was not alive during the time of filming, so his counterpart in the film Emma Thompson will not appear in the film either.
