Despite their individual career paths evolving over the years, the duo has yet to collaborate on a project that has materialized. Garfield remains optimistic about the possibility of sharing the screen with the iconic star from The Notebook.

While reading through the script, Garfield found himself grappling with themes that resonated with his own life experiences. "Thematically, it was what I was exploring in my life and sitting with and wondering about," he shared, highlighting the emotional depth he brings to his craft.
