## *The Drama* Meet the Leads

**Zendaya** plays Emma Harwood, a bookstore clerk in Baton Rouge, Louisiana — warm, layered, and harbouring something that threatens to unravel everything. This marks her third major 2026 film alongside *The Odyssey* and *Dune: Part Three*, cementing her status as Hollywood’s most in-demand actress right now.

**Robert Pattinson** plays Charlie, her fiancé. After massive franchise success, Pattinson dived into director-driven films like *The Lighthouse*, *Good Time*, and *Tenet* — and the total gross of his films worldwide now exceeds $4.7 billion. His pairing with Zendaya is the kind of casting that makes audiences immediately sit up.

**Alana Haim** as Rachel brings her signature naturalistic charm — she made her acting debut in *Licorice Pizza*, earning both a Golden Globe and BAFTA nomination. And keep an eye on **Jordyn Curet** as Young Emma — this is her first major feature film role, and reviewers are already comparing the impact of her performance to Owen Cooper in *Adolescence*.
