This year has been a busy time for the film industry, and following last year's SAG strikes, we were more than eager and ready for a jam-packed time at the cinema. From the highly-anticipated Challengers, to unforgettable movies like Poor Things, we have been truly spoilt. But the fun is clearly not over just yet, and the latest news of a Zendaya and Robert Pattinson cosmic alignment for A24 film, The Drama, has sent the internet into a tailspin these past 24 hours.
We will admit, the news is mostly speculation at this point in time, but Deadline broke the news that the Challengers and Dune star and Mickey 17 actor were in early talks to star as the leading roles in the upcoming film. It's certainly not a pairing we thought we'd see anytime soon, but it's one we will welcome with open arms. At this point, we don't know too much else about Zendaya and Pattinson's involvement – only that the Euphoria lead was first to express interest, with The Batman actor following suit – but what we do know is who will be behind The Drama.
Director Kristoffer Borgli, who recently directed the critically-acclaimed film, Dream Scenario, is the mastermind behind the film, with reports confirming that he will direct based off the script he has written himself. Details of the plot are still very much under wraps, but the little information we do have alludes to a romance that takes an unexpected turn before a couple’s big day.
Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen and Tyler Campellone will produce under their Square Peg banner – the production company behind films that include Hereditary, Midsommar, Dream Scenario as well as upcoming films Death of a Unicorn and Eddington. This also isn't the first time Borgli has worked with A24, and if the end result is as impressive as their last partnership, then we're certainly in for an impressive ride.
Stay tuned as we find out more about the film.
