Tom Bateman cast as male lead in 'The Love Hypothesis' movie opposite Lili Reinhart
Tom Bateman has been cast as the male lead in The Love Hypothesis, the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios film adaptation of Ali Hazelwood's best-selling romance novel. The casting has caught attention for a surprising real-life link to the book's fanfiction origins: Bateman is married to Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, the original inspiration behind the female protagonist. The book began as a Star Wars fanfiction titled Head Over Feet, which centred on the Reylo pairing—Ridley's Rey and Adam Driver's Kylo Ren. Published in 2018 on Archive of Our Own, the story was later reworked into a standalone romance. Hazelwood confirmed Adam Carlsen, the male lead Bateman will play, was named in homage to Adam Driver. Nods to the book's origins came fast after Bateman's casting. Amazon MGM posted, 'Hypothesis: Tom Bateman is the perfect Adam Carlsen,' while fans lit up X with commentary linking the real-life couple to their fictional counterparts. One post read, 'Fanfiction version of Daisy Ridley's space husband being her real-life husband.' Bateman will star opposite Lili Reinhart, who plays Olive Smith, a PhD candidate who enters a fake dating scenario with Carlsen. The couple's chemistry mirrors that of Rey and Kylo's fraught alliance in The Rise of Skywalker. Bateman and Ridley met in 2017 during filming of Murder on the Orient Express. Their off-screen connection now circles back to a fandom that's followed them for years—only this time, on a very different kind of screen.

Verity sets new May 2026 release at Amazon MGM
Amazon MGM Studios has officially announced that Verity, its adaptation of Colleen Hoover's psychological thriller, will release in theaters on May 15, 2026. The film stars Anne Hathaway as Verity Crawford, a bestselling author who becomes incapacitated following a mysterious accident. Dakota Johnson plays Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer brought in to complete Verity's work, only to uncover a hidden manuscript filled with disturbing revelations. Directed by Michael Showalter, the film also features Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Brady Wagner, Irina Dvorovenko, K.K. Moggie, and Michael Abbott Jr. The screenplay is by Nick Antosca, with production led by Showalter, Hathaway, and Hoover herself. Filming wrapped earlier this year in New York. Verity is the latest in a wave of Hoover adaptations, following It Ends With Us and several additional titles in development. By setting a May 2026 date, Amazon MGM is positioning Verity for a spring launch that capitalizes on both the thriller genre's audience and Hoover's expansive fanbase. The project reunites Hathaway and Showalter, who previously collaborated on The Idea of You. As anticipation builds, the release marks a high-profile literary adaptation for Amazon's growing theatrical slate.

Next James Bond film enters new era with acclaimed director
Amazon MGM Studios officially announced on June 25 that acclaimed filmmaker Denis Villeneuve will direct the upcoming 26th James Bond film. He will also serve as an executive producer alongside his longtime collaborator Tanya Lapointe. Villeneuve, widely recognized for his work on Dune, Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, and Sicario, expressed his deep connection to the Bond franchise, calling himself a 'die-hard fan' and stating his intention to both honor the series' legacy and open a path for 'many new missions to come.' The upcoming film will be the first developed under Amazon MGM's leadership, following a joint venture finalized earlier this year with longtime Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Prominent producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman have been brought on board to guide the new phase of the Bond universe. No casting announcements or release date have been disclosed. The deal, reportedly worth $1 billion, granted Amazon MGM creative control while retaining the legacy producers' involvement. Villeneuve is currently preparing to shoot Dune Messiah, the next installment in his Dune series. Bond pre-production is expected to begin in 2026, after that project wraps, with a likely release window of 2027 or beyond.
