Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are in the early stages of negotiations to star in “The Drama,” a new film directed and written by Kristoffer Borgli, known for “Dream Scenario.”
Details about the project are still under wraps, but it’s rumored to be a romance with a twist before the couple’s wedding day.
This film marks another collaboration between A24 and Square Peg, following their successful projects like “Hereditary,” “Midsommar,” “Dream Scenario,” and upcoming titles “Death of a Unicorn,” starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega, and “Eddington,” featuring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Emma Stone.
Zendaya has had a successful year, starring in “Dune: Part Two” and “Challengers.” She will soon return as Rue Bennett in the third season of HBO’s “Euphoria,” a role that earned her an Emmy and a Golden Globe. Pattinson’s next appearance will be in Bong Joon-ho’s science fiction drama “Mickey 17,” set for release in January. Recently, he starred as Bruce Wayne in 2022’s “The Batman” and voiced the Grey Heron in the English dub of Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron.”
Variety’s chief film critic, Peter Debruge, praised Borgli’s work in “Dream Scenario,” stating, “A Norwegian helmer making his English-language debut for A24 (by way of Ari Aster’s production company), ‘Sick of Myself’ director Borgli takes this surrealist premise and approaches it with a tone that’s a singular mix of comedic and sinister.”
Zendaya is represented by CAA and Monster Talent Management. Pattinson is represented by 3 Arts Entertainment, WME, Curtis Brown, and Sloane, Offer, Weber, and Dern. Borgli is represented by UTA, and Square Peg is represented by WME.
