LILY JAMES #LILYJAMES
Harry Styles and Lily James are in negotiations to star in the upcoming movie My Policeman, based on the acclaimed novel.
Deadline reports that the movie “takes place in the late 1990s, when the arrival of elderly invalid Patrick into Marion and Tom’s home, triggers the exploration of seismic events from 40 years previous: the passionate relationship between Tom and Patrick at a time when homosexuality was illegal.”
Lily will seemingly play the younger Marion, though it’s not clear if Harry will play Patrick or Tom. Production on the movie is expected to begin in summer 2021.
Amazon Studios has closed a deal to produce the film with Berlanti Productions’ Greg Berlanti, his husband Robbie Rogers, and Sarah Schechter, along with Independent Film Company and MGC’s Cora Palfrey and Philip Herd.
Tony Award winner Michael Grandage will direct the movie with a screenplay by Oscar-nominated writer Ron Nyswaner.
