Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara, Michael Fassbender and Natalie Portman star in Terence Malick's "Song to Song," a romantic drama about two musicians, a music industry executive, and a restaurant waitress.

Featuring Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara as musicians in the same band, Michael Fassbender as a music industry executive, and Natalie Portman as a restaurant waitress, "Song to Song" takes place within the city of Austin, Texas, where it will premiere at the annual SXSW festival on March 10 -- a week before it goes on general release.

"We thought we could just roll and tumble, live from song to song, kiss to kiss," the trailer tells us, as romance appears to become consumed by manipulation and betrayal.

The film is also noted for its many cameos by active musicians including Iggy Pop, Iron & Wine, Lykke Li, Patti Smith and Florence Welch.
