Bankside Films are launching sales on Dean Craig's rom-com 'Lola and Freddie,' billed as a British reimagining of 'Celeste and Jesse Forever'

Naomie Harris(“Moonlight,” “No Time To Die”), Joel Fry(“The End We Start From,” “Yesterday”), Jameela Jamil(“DC League of Super-Pets, Marry Me”) and Olivia Lee (“Dirty, Sexy, Funny,” “In The Long Run”) are set to star in upcoming romantic comedy “Lola and Freddie,” billed as a British reimagining of 2012’s “ Celeste and Jesse Forever.” “I absolutely loved ‘Celeste & Jesse Forever,’ so when I read Peter Howitt’s script for the U.K.-set reimagining I was delighted to see he’d managed to retain the comedic and soulful essence of the original and at the same time create something that feels utterly new and unique, and totally English,” said Craig. Lee and Tish commented: “’Celeste and Jesse Forever’ put us on the map 10 years ago and we’re thrilled to be diving back into this universally appealing story to explore it through a new lens with a modern spin alongside the hugely talented filmmaker Dean Craig and our amazing cast.”
