‘100 Nights of Hero’, Nicholas Galitzine’s upcoming project
“100 Nights of Hero” is set to be a movie adaptation of Isabel Greenberg’s graphic novel of the same name, directed by Julia Jackman. Greenberg, a renowned British illustrator, has had her work featured in The Guardian, The Observer, and The New York Times.
Jackman is known for her impressive short films such as “Kid Gloves,” “Sparta North,” “Upshot,” and “23 Red”. She recently made her feature film debut with the 2023 comedy “Bonus Track,” co-written by Josh O’Connor.
According to Deadline, “100 Nights of Hero” is a feminist fairytale inspired by “One Thousand and One Nights”. The story follows two women, Cherry and Hero, who are deeply in love but face a dire obstacle: Cherry is married to the cruel Jerome, who bets his friend Manfred that if Manfred can seduce Cherry within 100 nights, she will belong to him.
However, Cherry has no interest in Manfred and devises a clever plan with Hero. The latter must distract Manfred with captivating stories each night, thwarting his seduction attempts. It’s heavily rumored that Nicholas Galitzine will take on the role of Manfred, marking his first dive into villainous roles. Additionally, Maika Monroe, Emma Corrin, and Charli XCX have been confirmed as part of the cast.
As for a release date, the project is still in its early stages, and with Galitzine’s busy schedule, filming may not begin until later. A release in late 2025 or early 2026 seems likely. We’ll keep you updated!
