What precisely is the drama in The Drama? Info on the upcoming movie, by which Zendaya and Robert Pattinson star as Emma Harwood and Charlie Thompson, an engaged couple on the verge of marriage, has been sparse to this point.
Google is categorising the movie as a “romance”, which appears to take a seat someplace between barely misguided and fairly improper. We’re guessing that it’ll be a bit extra meaty and character-led than that label suggests.
What we do know for positive is that it’s written and directed by Norwegian Kristoffer Borgli, who beforehand penned and helmed Dream Situation, a couple of school professor (performed by Nic Cage) who immediately begins showing within the desires of individuals all around the world.
The Drama’s logline solely provides a tantalising trace as to the plot: “Days earlier than their marriage ceremony, a pair’s relationship is shaken when one accomplice discovers unsettling truths in regards to the different.” That’s not a lot to go on. So, which of the pair is unsettled and which unmasked? A just-released teaser for the movie could present some clues.
The framing system for the teaser is a photoshoot by which the couple seem phenomenally uncomfortable, interspersed with quick scenes from their life collectively. If we needed to guess, we’d say that it’s Pattinson’s Charlie who’s simply obtained the shock of his life. Check out this second 48 seconds in: it appears as if he’s obtained some very disturbing information.

Both manner, we extremely approve the Pattinson and Zendaya pairing and may’t consider that it hasn’t occurred earlier than. Nonetheless, it received’t be the one alternative to see them in a movie collectively subsequent yr.
Each are starring in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey – but it surely’s unlikely they’ll be sharing display time. Pattison is taking over the position of Antinous, all-round arse and unwelcome suitor to Penelope, whereas Zendaya is goddess Athena. Fairly proper too.
The Drama might be launched by A24 on 3 April 2026. We’d be taking our seats and grabbing the popcorn now if we may.
Within the meantime, to see what we considered A24’s Eternity, starring Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner, which you’ll be able to nonetheless catch on the cinema, try our Eternity assessment.
