“I actually noticed them being discussed [on-line] for several different roles — and I surely have a favourite,” she persevered. “But it’s amusing, as a result of other adaptations would either have certainly one of them playing to sort, or one of those adaptations would have them both taking part in to kind, and one among them would have them both playing in opposition to type.

Are Paul Mescal and Ayo Edebiri working on a brand new movie? After their St. Patrick’s Day trip, fans are satisfied the duo are gearing as much as celebrity in an upcoming film adaptation of one among creator Emily Henry’s books.
Mescal and Edebiri, each 28, posed in combination for a photo on Sunday, March 17, sparking rumors of a collaboration between the 2. Author Henry added fuel to the hearth by reposting the photograph by way of Instagram Stories — which, naturally, set BookTok on fire with theories.
Three of Henry’s books — Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation and Book Lovers — are set for forthcoming movie diversifications. However, some of the three makes probably the most sense for Mescal and Edebiri.
In March 2023, production company Tango Entertainment bought the rights to Book Lovers, with Sarah Heyward tapped to write the script. Tango produced the 2022 movie Aftersun, in which Mescal starred — and gained an Oscar nomination for. A accident, in all probability now not.
The Book Lovers novel follows the story of a literary agent named Nora who, while vacationing in North Carolina, continues to run right into a brooding book editor named Charlie — and they've history.
“There has been a large number of ‘rom com movies are lifeless’ communicate over the previous few years even if completely everyone I do know is determined for them. The industry, much more than publishing, desires a positive factor, and as we all know, that is the absolute worst constraint for making art,” Henry captioned her March 2023 Instagram post, announcing the movie adaptation of Book Lovers. “I’m so grateful Tango wants to make this. I’m so happy they perceive why this kind of movie is vital. It’s now not a couple of components, any longer than any other genre, despite the fact that that’s how romances steadily get oversimplified in dialogue.”
She endured: “Some other folks scoff at the concept of a genre with a guaranteed ‘glad ending,’ but actually, we all know the characters’ lives pass on after the book ends. They’ll undergo different hurts. They’ll fight. We’re with them for only a second. But in that second, there's such a lot hope. That’s why this sort of story is so essential to me.”
Referring to the book particularly, Henry called it a story “about two broken other folks seeking to open themselves up sufficient to be truly recognized.” She concluded, “This movie is going to funny, comfortable, moving, and messy. I will’t wait.”
It’s essential to note that no casting has been confirmed thus far. However, Us is hopeful and so are the fans.
“Wait. hold on. Emily Henry running with the manufacturers of Aftersun which starred Paul Mescal for the Book Lovers movie and then reposting a photo of Paul and Ayo??,” one particular person wrote on X. “I am connecting dots.”
A 2d fan of the book famous that the actors would play the roles perfectly.
“Book Lovers was so just right tho I will unquestionably see Ayo and Paul doing Nora and Charlie’s banter like they have been so humorous and they just get each and every different if this doesn’t occur I’m discovering the closest development and jum [sic],” they shared.
Another social media consumer added, “Sooooo paul mescal and ayo edebiri in a romcom together when.”

While Book Lovers seems to be the in all probability connection. Others have thrown around the Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation titles as smartly.
“She has an insatiable wanderlust, he prefers to stick home with a book. But they're best friends secretly in love who take a travel every summer time until they had a fall out,” one social media user declared. “She convinces him to take another holiday together. Yeah, I need Ayo Edebiri & Paul Mescal for PWMOV.”
Another X consumer wrote, “A Beach Read adaptation starring Ayo Edibiri & Paul Mescal would grow to be my entire persona.”
