Dane and Cooper Degayed in Valentine’s Day Trailer

Valentine’s Day opens in February and pretty much stars every A-list actor who has ever made a romantic comedy – but one pairing you won’t see in the trailer is Eric Dane and Bradley Cooper.

AfterElton.com writes that in the film – which follows several couples as they navigate relationship woes on V-day – Cooper is in love with a closeted football player, played by Dane.

But a trailer for the film doesn’t even hint at their relationship. Instead, it seems to imply that Cooper is in a relationship with Julia Roberts.

“Is it really impossible to market an ensemble romantic comedy to the masses with a gay couple in it?,” After Elton’s Ed Kennedy writes. “Could that really be considered a bad marketing move in Hollywood now? First, a gay director (Tom Ford) takes a movie about a gay man based on a book by a gay man and degays the marketing for that movie, and now this?”
