A24 Film 'Bride' With Scarlett Johansson Coming to Apple TV+

[MacRumors]

"Bride," a new movie from Apple and film studio A24, is coming to Apple TV+, reports Deadline. Described as a "genre-bending" film, "Bride" will star Scarlet Johansson.

The plot follows a "brilliant entrepreneur" who creates a woman to be the ideal wife. She rejects her creator and is "forced to flee her confined existence, confronting a world that sees her as a monster." While on the run, she finds her true identity and the strength to remake herself.

In addition to starring in the film, Johansson will serve as a producer, and the movie will be directed by Sebastián Lelio, known for movies like "Disobedience" and "Gloria."

Apple and A24 are partnering on other titles including "On the Rocks" with Bill Murray and "The Sky is Everywhere" with Jason Segel. "On the Rocks" is the first A24 film coming to Apple TV+ and it is set to launch this Friday.

Wish there's at least a poster.

Interesting. Sounds similar to "Ex Machina", but with more time dedicated to post-escape events.

 

[TVreporter]

Will watch anything with my wife in it.

My real wife won’t approve!

 

[SDJim]

How ego-inflating must it be to be repeatedly cast as the ideal woman a man would create if he could...

 

[JWSpaceMan]

How does the beta testing work on this?

This sounds interesting! Apple is really reaping the rewards of that first look deal with A24 from way back when. https://variety.com/2018/film/news/apple-a24-films-1203029800/

And, yet another MCU actor added to TV+ in Apple’s quest to catch ‘em all! I think there are only 5 missing, RDJ, Ruffalo, Chris Pratt, Cumberbatch, and Hemsworth.

A24 is still 10 years away, though.

Right? For a website that lives and dies by click counts, I'm surprised there isn't a little "graphic support" for this.

An ideal wife? You mean a women who feels comfortable telling me I am being an idiot?

 

[cmaier]

Isn’t this frankenstein?

 

[CarlJ]

Will watch anything with my wife in it.

Is that you Colin?

Wake me up when Apple buys A24’s The Green Knight please.

Isn’t this frankenstein?

Yeah, sounds like a Frankenstein retelling. To be fair, Shelley's story is a great one. Ain't no shame in using it as inspiration.

On a lighter note, the Animaniacs are being rebooted on Hulu next month!! Hot damn.

 

[tranceking26]

Could have potential. But who knows until a trailer at least...

 

[decypher44]

Isn’t this frankenstein?

That was my first thought. It’s Frankenstein!

“It’s pronounced ‘Fronkensteen.’ ”
Love that movie

 

[nortofthe13th]

Wake me up when Apple buys A24’s The Green Knight please.

This 1,000,000 X YES! I was so looking forward to this movie in theaters and it would fill the fantasy gap in tv+ Right now. Even still it would fit right along with Servant! Apple needs The Green Knight!!!

 

[canned_tuna_og]

Sounds like all her movies, especially The Island, a movie she co-starred in with Ewan.

 

[Spungoflex]

Calling it now: the evil, domineering creator will be cast as a white man. Her “true love” will be cast as non-white, most likely black or perhaps an Asian.

Will bump this post when casting is revealed.

 

[Euroamerican]

Bored Now!

 

[g.a.papavasileiou]

A24 Studio usually means REALLY good news for us!

 

[4487549]

So, they remade Her?

 

[cbaca51]

Love Scarlett

 

[RedRaven571]

On a lighter note, the Animaniacs are being rebooted on Hulu next month!! Hot damn.

Johansson in that too?

 

[69Mustang]

Johansson in that too?

Yup. Nurse.
