Get ready for a delightful cinematic treat as Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike are set to charm audiences in Netflix’s upcoming romantic-comedy, Ladies First. Directed by the talented Thea Sharrock, this film is a fresh adaptation of the French movie Je Ne Suis Pas Un Homme Facile by Eleonore Pourriat.
Picture this – Cohen stepping into the shoes of a charming womanizer navigating a world dominated by strong, independent women. And who better to shake things up than the brilliant and opinionated Rosamund Pike? As their characters collide, sparks are sure to fly, adding a delightful twist to the storyline.
Behind the scenes, the creative genius of Liza Chasin from 3dot Productions is at work, co-producing this gem alongside a stellar team including Eleonore Dailly, Edouard de Lachomette, and Four By Two Films. With her magic touch, Chasin is also juggling two other exciting projects – Lonely Plane starring Laura Dern and The Life List starring Sofia Carson.
As we eagerly anticipate this on-screen magic, Cohen is gearing up for his next venture opposite powerhouse actors Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline in the Apple TV+ series Disclaimer, directed by none other than Alfonso Cuarón. Following his Oscar-nominated performance in Netflix’s The Trial of the Chicago 7, Cohen continues to captivate audiences with his versatility, whether it’s in Borat or the animated favorite Luca. Let’s not forget his witty ‘mockumentary’ Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, which earned him acclaim and an Academy Award nod for its screenplay.
Meanwhile, Pike, known for her memorable roles in Pride and Prejudice and Gone Girl, has been making waves with her recent appearances in the intriguing psychological thriller Saltburn and the fantasy series Wheel of Time. Her upcoming debut at the National Theater in Inter Alia by Suzie Miller promises to be a performance to remember, especially under the guidance of the talent behind the acclaimed legal drama Prima Facie, which launched Jodie Comer to stardom and accolades.
With such a stellar cast and crew, Ladies First is shaping up to be a must-watch film that promises laughter, love, and a whole lot of heart. Stay tuned for this cinematic delight that is sure to capture our hearts and leave us wanting more.
