The film Famous, which is currently being produced by A24 and Black Bear, is getting even more anticipated with the addition of two big name stars to the project. Adapting from Deadline on Wednesday September 4, 2024, Phoebe Dynevor, the star of the Bridgerton series, also joined the cast of the film Famous. Zac Efron (A Family Affair) was the first actor who had previously been announced.
Famous will be produced by Sam Esmail and Chad Hamilton under the Esmail Corp. banner, with Nick Krishnamurthy serving as executive producer. The story is a celebrity thriller , in which an ordinary movie buff tries to impersonate a Hollywood star who bears a physical resemblance to him.
Famous will be a film set in the world of Hollywood, but this time it will explore the side of the film industry that is far from the glitz that is only seen from the outside, including the lives of the stars who play important roles in it. In this film, Zac Efron will play two characters at once, namely James Jansen, a fictional Hollywood icon, and Lance Dunkquist, a fanatic fan obsessed with the film industry.
Lance has a great desire to become a star who is worshiped like Hollywood actors. When he realizes that his face looks very similar to James, he decides to go to Los Angeles to pursue his dream, regardless of the risks involved. The story itself is adapted from the popular novel by Blake Crouch with the same title.
Chad Hodge is adapting the novel Famous for the big screen in a project that reunites him with Blake Crouch, having previously adapted Crouch's Wayward Pines trilogy into a TV series. Blake Crouch's work has been getting more and more adaptations for the big screen lately. Another of his novels, Dark Matter, is the basis for the AppleTV+ sci-fi series Dark Matter .
Phoebe Dynevor rose to fame for her role as Daphne Bridgerton in the first season of the Regency-set series Bridgerton. Her Hollywood career has been further boosted after she was nominated for a BAFTA for her stunning performance in Fair Play. Now, Phoebe Dynevor seems to have found her love for the thriller genre, with several thriller projects in production, including Sony Pictures' I Heart Murder , Wichita Libra , Beneath the Storm, and Anniversary.
