Get ready, movie lovers! Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are teaming up for The Drama, a romantic comedy from the acclaimed studio A24. This news, breaking just now, promises a fresh take on the genre, and we're already buzzing with anticipation.
According to Deadline, the film is slated for release next year. But here's where it gets interesting: with A24 involved, we can expect something beyond your typical rom-com. Think a twist, a unique angle, and maybe even a touch of the unexpected. The film is produced by Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen, known for their work on thought-provoking films. Kristoffer Borgli, who brought us the quirky comedy Dream Scenario, is writing and directing The Drama.
While the plot details are still under wraps, the movie reportedly centers on a romance that takes an unexpected turn before the big day. The cast also includes Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie, and Hailey Gates.
A24 has set a release date for April 3, 2026. This strategic move puts The Drama head-to-head with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the newly announced sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie. A24 has been broadening its horizons, with films like Civil War, and has also been exploring the romance genre with movies like The Materialists and We Live in Time.
Both Zendaya and Pattinson are also busy with their respective comic book sequels. Zendaya is working on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, while Pattinson is preparing to reprise his role as Batman in The Batman Part II. Director Matt Reeves shared that filming for The Batman Part II is set to begin in late April or early May. The script is so top secret that Pattinson's copy was kept under lock and key!
