Lily James to star in new untitled movie from 20th Century inspired by Whitney Wolfe, the founder of the dating app Bumble, life

Sources tell Deadline, 20th Century Studios and Ethea Entertainment, the production company formed by Jennifer Gibgot and Andrew Panay, are currently in pre-production for an untitled film inspired by the story of Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder and former CEO of online dating platform Bumble, with James on board to play the lead role. The film marks another milestone for James as she goes from a top tier leading lady in such hits as Cinderella, Baby Driver and most recently The Iron Claw to more of a multi-hyphenate as she spreads her wings on the producing front. On the acting side, she remains busy most recently starring alongside Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White in the critically acclaimed The Iron Claw, which has since become one of A24’s bigger box-office hits to date.
