Rom-com royalty Meg Ryan is back with a new project.
Ryan directed and stars in the upcoming film "What Happens Later" opposite David Duchovny. The movie, based on Steven Dietz's play "Shooting Star," follows exes Bill (Duchovny) and Willa (Ryan) who are left stranded overnight at an airport due to harsh winter weather.
This marks Ryan's first film in 8 years.
A trailer released Wednesday shows the former couple rehashing their relationship woes almost 25 years after their breakup.
"It really wasn't what you said, about wanting different things. You left. You let go," Ryan's character says. "When people break up there's the thing that people tell each other and there's the truth, which you never told me."
As the former couple starts to let their guard down, Duchovny's character admits, "I had a good life, but I never met anybody again that made me feel like you did."
"What Happens Later" comes out on Oct. 13.
Ryan told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Wednesday that the "will they/won't they" aspect of the movie "sort of evolves the rom-com genre just a little bit."
"It's also about old people, and it's still romantic and sexy," she added.

Ryan also shared that she used the cadence and rhythm of films in the '40s like "Bringing Up Baby" as the influence for "What Happens Later."
Director and screenwriter "Nora Ephron used to say about rom-coms that they were really a secretly incredible delivery system to comment on the times, and we do that in this movie," the filmmaker said.
Ryan has famously starred in rom-coms "When Harry Met Sally," "Prelude to a Kiss," "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail."
