Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor has signed on to star in upcoming thriller Famous.
Per Deadline, the actor – best known for playing Daphne Bridgerton in the hit Netflix period drama series – joins the previously announced Zac Efron in the movie, based on the book of the same name by Blake Crouch.
While Dynevor’s role is yet to be unveiled, Efron is confirmed to play dual roles in the film, portraying both Hollywood star James Jansen and his obsessive fan Lance Dunkquist.
Famous follows the story of Dunkquist, a fan with a Hollywood dream and the face of a movie star – more specifically he’s the spitting image of his icon Jansen. He travels to La La land to make his dream come true and seek fame, no matter the cost.
The novel has been adapted for the screen by Chad Hodge who previously worked with Crouch to translate his Wayward Pines book series for television.
Jody Hill has signed on to direct with Sam Esmail, of Leave The World Behind fame, on board as producer.
It’s not the only movie role Dynevor has scored of late, with it announced in May that she will head up new shark thriller Beneath the Storm. The film is scheduled for a US release next August.
