Paparazzi cameras have caught a glimpse of Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana's real-life chemistry, and now it can be seen on the big screen in The Words.

In this trailer, the pair, who were first spotted getting cozy in January, share some very intimate scenes in the film – many of which occur in bed. At one point, Saldana, 33, shakes her booty at the actor, 37, causing him to stop what he's doing and run right over to her.

In the film – which also stars Olivia Wilde and Jeremy Irons – Cooper plays Rory, a struggling writer who takes credit for another man's literary success.

The one-time real-life loves, who first met while filming, haven't been seen out and about together since the end of February, when they spent an evening with Cooper's mom.
