Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, Joey King to Star in Netflix Romantic Comedy

Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, and Joey King are set to star in an upcoming romantic comedy for Netflix, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The as-of-yet untitled film will be written by Richard LaGravenese, who has previously worked as a screenwriter on The Fisher King, The Bridges of Madison County, and more. Carrie Solomon — who is currently working on the recently announced Ocean’s 11 prequel film with Margot Robbie — will co-write the film.

Information on the upcoming film is being kept under wraps, although The Hollywood Reporter notes that the film will see a “surprising romance kick off comic consequences for a young woman, her mother, and her movie star boss.” The untitled rom-com will be produced by Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Alyssa Altman, and will reportedly begin production later this summer in Atlanta.

Kidman is coming off of an Academy Award-nominated role, in which she starred as Lucille Ball in Amazon’s Being the Ricardos, as well as starring in Robert Eggers’ The Northman earlier this year. Efron also was in theaters earlier this year, where he starred in Blumhouse’s remake of Stephen King’s Firestarter. As for King, she continues her rise to fame after breaking out in the Netflix teen romance trilogy The Kissing Booth. Her next role will come in Hulu’s medieval action feature The Princess, which debuts next month on July 1, 2022.
