Nicholas Galitzine and ‘The Idea of You’ Music Producers on Crafting August Moon as a ‘Conglomeration of Legendary Boy Bands’ Like One Direction, NSYNC and BTS


Nicholas Galitzine and 'The Idea of You' music team talk crafting the catalog for the film's fictional boyband August Moon.

“Don’t you miss those bombastic, blown out pop choruses of the 2010s?” asks Savan Kotecha, the executive producer behind the music of August Moon — the fictional boy band at the center of “ The Idea of You,” a new romance film on Prime Video based on a novel by Robinne Lee. Nicholas Galitzine plays Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of August Moon, who falls in love with an older woman and single mother Solène ( Anne Hathaway) after she brings her daughter to the group’s meet-and-greet at Coachella. “I’ve witnessed the evolution of a boy band member plenty of times and I tried, to the best of my ability, to share some of those intimate experiences with [director Michael Showalter] and [producer Cathy Schulman],” Kotecha tells Variety.
