Have to admit that we’ve been so focused on The Outfit that we forgot for a second that there is another movie coming with Dylan O’Brien and and Zoey Deutch and for that we are sorry.
This one is entitled Not Okay and brings us Dylan with some iconic bleached blonde hair that we can’t get enough of.
The first look at the movie came today via WWD.
“I wrote the first draft of this script for Makeready in 2018, right around the ‘Summer of Scam’ and during an explosion of anxiety on the internet,” Writer and Director Quinn Shephard told the outlet. “I found myself deeply affected by the endless scroll through headlines of violence and political news, mixed ceaselessly with influencer scandals, cancel culture and sponsored ads for teeth whitening that will somehow make you forget that the world is burning.”
Sounds interesting and also sounds like something that we all can relate to.
The movie, “follows Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch), an aimless aspiring writer with no friends, no romantic prospects and — worst of all — no followers, who fakes an Instagram-friendly trip to Paris in the hopes of boosting her social media clout. When a terrifying incident strikes the City of Lights, Danni unwittingly falls into a lie bigger than she ever imagined.
She ‘returns’ a hero, even striking up an unlikely friendship with Rowan (Mia Isaac), a school-shooting survivor dedicated to societal change, and scooping up the man of her dreams Colin (Dylan O’Brien). As an influencer and advocate, Danni finally has the life and audience she always wanted. But it’s only a matter of time before the facade cracks, and she learns the hard way that the Internet loves a takedown.”
The movie filmed last year in New York City after finding a home with Searchlight and Hulu in 2020.
Not Okay is set to premiere August 5th on HULU.
