There’s a new film that we can already tell it’s about to get all the buzz. Why? Well, because it stars Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield and we already got a taste of their chemistry when they presented Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay together at the 2023 Academy Awards on Sunday evening. Now, the dynamic duo is now set to star in a new romantic drama.
According to Deadline, Pugh and Garfield are currently in negotiations to act opposite one another in We Live in Time, set to be directed by The Goldfinch’s John Crowley, written by Nick Payne and developed and produced by StudioCanal with the help of Sunny March. Actor Benedict Cumberbatch will executive produce.
While much of the plot remains under wraps, the film has been described as a “funny” and “deeply moving” love story. Shooting is expected to begin later this year.
With a slew of new projects set to be released this year, The Wonder actress will star in ex-boyfriend Zach Braff’s film, A Good Person with Morgan Freeman, and Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming epic Oppenheimer, alongside a star-studded cast including Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Gary Oldman and more. Pugh will also star as Princess Irulan Corrino in Dune: Part Two alongside Zendaya and her Little Women co-star Timothée Chalamet.
As Pugh’s Don’t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde once said, “There’s nothing cooler than a busy actress.”
Garfield is currently coming off of his critically acclaimed role in Under the Banner of Heaven. His turn in the Hulu dramatic miniseries earned him Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award nominations. Next, The Amazing Spider-Man star will portray billionaire Richard Branson in the forthcoming limited series Hot Air, which will chronicle the rise of Virgin Airways.
Displaying their palpable chemistry on the Oscars stage, We Live in Time is sure to showcase magnetic performances from both of the beloved British stars.
