Director Kristoffer Borgli is reunited with A24 after the critical praise of his last picture, Dream Scenario. It appears that he has cast two of the greatest celebrities in the vicinity as leads in his upcoming film. Deadline has learned from insiders that A24 would fund and produce Borgli’s The Drama, with Robert Pattinson and Zendaya already in talks to play the lead roles. Borgli authored the screenplay, which he will helm. Although the project’s specifics are unknown, there are suspicions that it centres on a romance that unexpectedly changes course just before a couple’s wedding.
This is the product of Square Peg and A24’s ongoing cinematic cooperation, which has produced movies such as Hereditary, Midsommar, Dream Scenario, and the soon-to-be released Eddington, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Emma Stone, and Death of a Unicorn, featuring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega.
With the success of Dune: Part Two, which brought in over $700 million globally, Zendaya has already had a fantastic year. After that, she starred in the tennis drama Challengers at Amazon MGM Studios, which got favourable reviews and made $94 million at the global box office, notably $50 million in the United States. She starred opposite Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor. Additionally, Zendaya is anticipated to make an appearance in her Emmy-winning performance on the HBO series Euphoria, which is scheduled to begin shooting in early 2025.
The Batman actor Pattinson is about to start filming Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love, and can subsequently appear in Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17.
