Jessica Henwick, known for her roles in ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ and ‘Game of Thrones,’ is set to co-star in the upcoming comedy thriller, ‘Everybody Wants To F*ck Me.’ She joins Taron Egerton in the project, which is fully financed by Studiocanal and Film4 and is currently gearing up for production in London next month.
A High-Profile Co-Production
The film is a collaborative effort between Studiocanal, LuckyChap (Margot Robbie’s Academy Award-winning production company), Film4, and Parkville Pictures. Jonathan Schey will direct the movie from a script he also wrote.
The story is set in London and explores the unpredictable landscape of modern dating. While plot details beyond the setting are scarce, the title and genre suggest a darkly humorous and potentially high-octane story. Studiocanal is handling worldwide sales, including theatrical releases in the UK, France, Germany, Australia, and other territories.
