Patrick Schwarzenegger and Margaret Qualley to team up for romantic drama
The White Lotus actor will reportedly appear opposite Margaret Qualley in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios movie, which will be directed by Rachel Morrison.
Julia Cox wrote the script, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, the emotional drama follows a young woman (Qualley), who loses her husband goes on a journey to find a way to move on with her life, while Schwarzenegger will play an old friend and former lover.
Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson will produce Love Of Your Life through their Open Invite Entertainment banner, which was previously known as General Admission.
Filming is scheduled to begin in Europe in August.
Meanwhile, Patrick recently admitted he'd love to take the lead role in the upcoming American Psycho remake.
One fan wrote on X recently: 'Patrick Schwarzenegger, I've found your breakout role.'
To which, the actor replied: 'I'd love nothing more [wink].'
Luca Guadagnino is making a modern version of the 2000 Mary Harron horror classic - which starred Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a New York City investment banker who leads a double life as a serial killer - and recently teased 'the script is coming out very handsomely' for the flick.
Appearing in a video segment at CinemaCon, the filmmaker said: 'We are really working hard to bring to the screen a new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho, a book that I deeply love that is something that influenced me so much.
'[Writer Scott Z. Burns] is doing an incredible job. The script is coming out very handsomely.'
Although Guadagnino didn't reveal any of the cast for his American Psycho movie, the director teased he was currently in 'conversation with very exciting performers to play the leads."
Last December, it was reported that Austin Butler would play Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.
The new film won't be a direct remake of the 2000 movie, with Guadagnino's version poised to be a new take on the story that will have a more significant erotic emphasis than the original picture.
Lionsgate film chief Adam Fogelson previously described the director as the 'perfect visionary' to helm the new cinematic iteration of American Psycho.
He said in a statement: 'We are thrilled to add another elite filmmaker to our upcoming slate. Luca is a brilliant artist, and the perfect visionary to create a whole new interpretation of this potent and classic IP.'

Henry Cavill says Highlander reboot is ‘taking all of his focus'
Henry Cavill has said the Highlander reboot is taking 'all of [his] focus'. The 42-year-old actor is due to portray Scottish swordsman Connor MacLeod in director Chad Stahelski's reimagining of the 1986 action flick of the same name, and Cavill has now said he will be deep in production for Highlander soon. When The Hollywood Reporter asked the Man of Steel star what projects he'd be working on this summer, he said: 'Highlander! That is taking all of my focus. 'It's a project that I'm extremely excited about. This character is going to be a lot of fun to play, and I'm loving working with Chad Stahelski. He is a very talented man.' Filming for Highlander had initially started in January in Scotland, with Amazon MGM Studios said to be targeting a 2026 release for the movie. In Highlander, immortal warrior Connor MacLeod (Cavill) battles across centuries, facing duels with others like him. In modern-day New York, he must confront his greatest foe to claim the ultimate prize. Cavill will be taking on the role of Connor MacLeod from Christopher Lambert - who portrayed the action hero in the original series - and Stahelski said he had persuaded him to sign on by pitching the project as a martial arts-focused movie that centred around an intense character arc for the swordsman. The John Wick director told The Direct: 'My selling point was, to [Cavill], look, you've got a guy that's been alive for over 500 years. He's the last person in the world that wanted to be in this situation. 'So you get to cover quite a broad spread of a character arc there. And you get to experience someone that's trained over 500 years and sort of played [with many types of] martial arts.' The Ballerina producer added his Highlander film would be set 'beyond present-day New York and Hong Kong', teasing that it's 'a bit of a love story, but not how you think'. He said: 'We're bringing it forward from the early 1500s in the highlands to the beyond present-day New York and Hong Kong, and seeing how it goes. 'There's big opportunity for action. There's a chance to play a character that not a lot of people get to play. And it's a bit of a love story, but not how you think. On John Wick, I learned a lot on how to bend the storytelling a little ... another kind of myth.' The Highlander reboot will feature Russell Crowe as Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez, originally portrayed by Sir Sean Connery, alongside Industry star Marisa Abela in a new, undisclosed role. Following the announcement of her casting, Abela shared that it was a 'real honour to step into such a legacy' and added that she was 'looking forward to working with Henry and Russell on something this iconic'.

‘Definitely more magic': Now You See Me star Dave Franco teases the franchise's future
Dave Franco hopes to 'make many more' Now You See Me movies. The 40-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as street magician Jack Wilder in the upcoming threequel Now You See Me: Now You Don't, and with a fourth film also on the way, Franco has shared he hopes the series will continue after the next flick. Speaking with Screen Rant, he said: 'Now You See Me 3, coming out in November -- the gang is back, definitely more magic. 'I'm learning new ways to throw cards. I have the greatest time with that cast. I think our natural love for each other bleeds onto the screen, and I hope to make many more with them.' As well as Franco, Now You See Me: Now You Don't - which hits screens on November 14, 2025 - will see the return of his other Four Horsemen co-stars: J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson) and Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher). Now You See Me: Now You Don't will also see Mark Ruffalo and Morgan Freeman reprise their roles as Dylan Rhodes and Thaddeus Bradley, respectively, while newcomers Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, and Dominic Sessa join the cast as the next generation of magicians. Previously, Franco teased Now You See Me: Now You Don't would be 'everything you want', and said Rosamund Pike's villain was a particular standout. He told Collider: 'We got some new fun characters - we got an incredible villain with Rosamund Pike, who's just an absolute pro. It's everything you want.' Reflecting on his Four Horsemen co-stars - who he has appeared alongside since the first Now You See Me in 2013 - Franco said the 'natural camaraderie' they share 'bleeds through onto the screen'. The Together actor said: 'I've known this cast for nearly 15 years now, and we all genuinely love each other. There's no set that I laugh on more. 'I just adore these people, and I think the natural camaraderie that we have kind of bleeds through onto the screen, and people can feel how much fun we're having.' In Now You See Me: Now You Don't – directed by Ruben Fleischer – The Four Horsemen appear to have gone their separate ways at the start of the film. In the first trailer, Eisenberg's J. Daniel Atlas tells a new generation of illusionists that his former team is 'dead.' He then clarifies: 'To me. Things got too real for them. They gave up stuff.' The plot centres on a daring diamond heist that unites both the original Horsemen and new characters, played by Greenblatt, Smith, and Sessa, as they face off against a powerful criminal organisation. The movie's title, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, was revealed during CinemaCon in April, where Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson also announced that Fleischer is set to return for a fourth instalment in the franchise. Fogelson said: 'We were so happy with the director's cut, we're already developing the next chapter. 'We can't wait for audiences to discover what he's done with the third film and thrilled he'll be making even more magic with us.'

Ryan Gosling and faceless alien wow crowd at Comic-Con
Comic-Con got a lot of Ryan and a little bit of Rocky at a panel on Project Hail Mary, the forthcoming film that's equal parts space adventure, real-science deep-dive, broad comedy and relationship drama. "What's up Hall H!" a giddy Ryan Gosling in a trucker hat and flannel shirt shouted to the crowd of more than 6000 at Comic-Con's biggest venue. Amazon MGM Studios showed the opening five minutes and several other slightly unfinished scenes from the first third of the film, seven months before its planned release. (Spoilers for that section follow). It included an extended glimpse at Rocky, the stone-shaped and faceless alien who becomes Gosling's mission partner as they attempt to save the universe from ecological disaster. Phil Lord, who co-directed the film with Chris Miller, said the relationship between the two beings stuck alone together in space represents the central theme. "If the universe depended on it," Miller said, "can adult men make friends?" Rocky is already a cult favourite for readers of Andy Weir's novel, and is sure to be a future staple of Comic-Con cosplay. Gosling said he got on board immediately after reading Project Hail Mary in manuscript form, and was only partly kidding when he called Weir, who was sitting next to him, "the greatest sci-fi mind of our time". "I knew it would be brilliant, because it's Andy, but nothing could prepare me," Gosling said. "It took me places I'd never been, it showed me things I'd never seen, it was as heartbreaking as it was funny." Gosling plays Ryland Grace, a middle school teacher and underachiever drafted for the mission. The opening five minutes show a gloppy, long-bearded, amnesiac Gosling as he awakes in a pod. He climbs out, confused. He finds other people in pods who are clearly dead. Then he finds a window and learns he's in space. He gives a mealy-mouthed scream of "Where am ?!" The movie represents the return to directing, and return to space, of Lord and Miller for the first time since they were fired and replaced by Ron Howard by Disney and Lucasfilm from 2018's Solo. Like The Martian, the movie goes heavy on the science but takes the messy, kitchen-sink, everything-is-comedy approach Lord and Miller used in films like The Lego Movie. "This movie is not a Mac, it's a PC," Lord said. "It can be beautiful, it just can't be pretty."
