Celine Song’s Next Project ‘The Materialists’ Heads To EFM With A24, Dakota Johnson In Talks & More A-List Cast Circling


Song is taking on rom-com The Materialists, which has a buzzy cast in talks to join.

The rom-com is attracting A-list talent with Dakota Johnson in talks, and Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal circling. Plot details have been kept under wraps, but we hear it deals with a professional matchmaker who gets involved with a wealthy man but still harbours feelings for the broke actor/waiter she left behind. Some saw the genre as a risky change of direction for Song after Past Lives but the buyers we’ve spoken to are into it and it will be one of the buzz packages of the market.
