In The Idea of You, a title coming soon to Prime Video, Anne Hathaway plays Sophie, a 40-year-old single mother who strikes up an unexpected romance with Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), a 24-year-old leader of the pop band August Moon, during the Coachella festival. This romantic drama explores life after divorce and how Sophie handles a relationship with a significantly younger man. Hayes' character, inspired in part by the figure of Harry Styles, undergoes a journey of self-discovery and sexual emancipation at a stage of life where society often dictates stereotypes about romantic relationships. The plot initially suggests a clandestine love affair that faces the challenges of public scrutiny and fame.
It should be recalled that Galitzine has consolidated his career with performances in films such as Cinderella and Purple Hearts, also making his way into the romantic comedy Red, White and Royal Blue. In this role, the actor will show a pop star facet, distanced from other past characters.
On the other hand, the actress will also play a similar role in the film 'Eilen,' which opened in U.S. theaters on December 1. In the film, Anne plays a psychologist who explores a relationship with a young woman with a considerable age difference. In the film, the Interstellar actress takes on a more supporting role in a narrative of maturity and redemption, sharing credits with Thomasin McKenzie (The Soho Mystery). The psychological thriller has received good critical reviews so far. The star of The Devil Wears Fashion and The Princess Diaries embarks this time around in the role of Rebecca St. John, a psychologist who enters the life of Eileen Dunlop (McKenzie), a young woman who works in a men's correctional facility in 1960s New England and longs to break free of her routine.
