This is billed as a love story. Does anyone who are the lead couple?

I assumed it was Colman and Ward considering they’re set as the leads.

I don’t know what the source is for this, but filming reportedly starts in March: https://twitter.com/DanceUrslfClean/status/1489624465604374528

It looks like it’s going to be a small character-driven story, so it may debut just in time for the 2023 season.

Given he shot 1917 in summer and releases it durimg the Fall, I can see that.

I think this could get a November or December 2022 release date (it wraps in May and it seems like it will be a small character-driven film). I love that it’s set around Christmas.

Remember when they predicted Colman to miss SAG? And some even said she was on the edge of being nominated for the Oscar?

She is truly the queen of making people pressed just by doing her job (acting).

Can’t wait for Searchlight to work their magic and get her to campaign a bit, something that SPC and Netflix haven’t been able to persuade her to do.

Haha, I love how you worded this expression.

Looking at the names attached to this project, I have high hopes, but at the same time don’t want to get it too high since Mendes doesn’t always deliver. Also, I do hope this can get a festival debut? To help build buzz. As we have learnt from previous years (and especially THIS YEAR), festivals help build buzz.
