Whitney Wolfe Herd, founder of Bumble, was initially opposed to the Hulu biopic 'Swiped' about her but is now honored that Lily James portrays her, despite feeling terrified and slightly flattered. James praised Herd as a trailblazer and found the role inspiring, though Herd had asked her lawyer to shut down the project two years ago.
Lily James has joined Chris Hemsworth in the upcoming submarine thriller 'Subversion,' directed by Patrick Vollrath for Amazon MGM, set to begin filming in Australia this fall. The film is described as a 'Die Hard on a submarine' style story involving high-stakes naval action and a tense pursuit, with production starting in September.
Lily James will star alongside Chris Hemsworth in 'Subversion,' an Amazon MGM submarine action film about a naval commander blackmailed into dangerous missions, with Patrick Vollrath directing and Lorenzo di Bonaventura producing.
Lily James showcases her impeccable sense of style in New York City, wearing chic high-waisted trousers, a tailored navy coat, and grey suede high heels. The actress was previously spotted wearing a gold band on her left hand, sparking engagement rumors with her on-off boyfriend Michael Schuman. Lily and Michael had split in February 2023 but were seen together again in July, and sources close to the actress confirmed they were a couple again.
Lily James discusses her role in the romantic comedy "What's Love Got to Do with It?" and how it was the perfect amount of normal before her transformation into Pamela Anderson for "Pam & Tommy." She talks about playing a documentary filmmaker who chronicles her childhood friend's arranged marriage, her own dating pitfalls, and her feelings for her friend. James also shares her love for table tennis and how she was proud to have a dialogue scene while playing in the winds of London.
"What's Love Got to Do With It?" is a romantic comedy directed by Shekhar Kapur that explores the cultural differences between childhood friends Zoe (Lily James) and Kazim (Shazad Latif). The film is a glossy lesson in how to pour nontraditional content into a traditional rom-com mold, with a mostly sunny tone that neither promotes nor disparages arranged marriage. Written by Jemima Khan, the movie bundles its perky-sweet tale in Kapur's signature visual sumptuousness, with lovely performances by Shabana Azmi and Sajal Ali.
