“The Idea of You” is the new and shining addition to Prime Video‘s catalog, also one of the biggest trends of the moment, especially for having two top-level stars as the protagonists of the drama.
Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables) and Nicholas Galitzine (Purple Hearts) bring to life the main characters, Solene and Hayes, in this fresh and eloquent love story, where their age and profession play a fundamental role.
The romantic comedy directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick) is an adaptation of a popular romance novel written by Robinne Lee in 2017, which has been one of the best sellers since then.
The Idea of You ranked Top 1 on Prime Video worldwide
Finally, the wait is over and “The Idea of You” is now available on Prime Video’s catalog. The excitement was so great that users have turned this romantic drama into the No. 1 movie worldwide in just one day.
Flix Patrol reported that the new contemporary love story starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine is not only the biggest trend on the platform but also shines in the US Top 10, ranking at No. 4.
The story follows Solène Marchand, a 40-year-old single mother, who begins an unexpected romance with Hayes Campbell, a 24-year-old lead singer of the world’s most popular boy band, August Moon.
Michael Showalter was in charge of directing and co-writing the screenplay with Jennifer Westfeldt. After so much hype, many have been wondering if there will be a sequel, but it’s still a mystery.
Adaptations based on books are not easy to pull off, especially because readers’ expectations are often very high. However, when asked about the modified ending, the filmmaker said:
“The ending is more in line with the type of movie we were making. This is not a tragic romance story”. Additionally, he said to TV Line that he wanted to “give the audience a feeling of hope”.
