Close Personal Friends is Amazon MGM Studios’ new ensemble comedy and it brings together four big stars for a project that sounds as exciting as the title. Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, Lily Collins, and Henry Golding star in the film that will be directed by Jason Orley for Amazon MGM Studios. The film promises a fresh dose of his signature wit.
Orley, who gave us the heartfelt and hilarious Big Time Adolescence, teams up once again with Isaac Aptake, the rom-com brain behind I Want You Back. Aptaker co-wrote the story with Orley and penned the script himself.
The plot is mostly being kept in the vault, but here’s the tease: while on a sun-soaked getaway to Santa Barbara, a regular couple meets a celebrity couple. Pretty soon it turns into a steady spiral into hilariously awkward territory.
Set to begin filming in London this September, Close Personal Friends is produced by Aptaker and his Walk-Up Company partner Elizabeth Berger, alongside Maximum Effort’s Ashley Fox and Johnny Pariseau, with Orley also serving as executive producer.
If the reunion of Orley, Aptaker, and Berger with Amazon MGM Studios is anything like their previous outing, expect a comedy that’s equal parts tender, outrageous, and painfully relatable.
More details about the stars of Close Personal Friends
Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, and Henry Golding are about to form the most chaotic and charming friend group you’ve ever seen on screen in the upcoming comedy Close Personal Friends. Imagine the Oscar-winning powerhouse behind Room and Captain Marvel teaming up with Netflix’s fashion-forward darling from Emily in Paris, the sharp-witted antihero from The Boys, and the effortlessly suave star of Crazy Rich Asians. More than a casting, it’s a recipe for pure comedic gold.
Larson’s recent award-season run with Lessons in Chemistry, Collins’ globe-trotting stardom, Quaid’s perfect balance of snark and sincerity, and Golding’s charm-offensive energy are set to collide in a story that promises equal parts heart, chaos, and quick-fire humor. Although the details of the film are not yet clear, Close Personal Friends is shaping up to be a fresh, modern ode to messy but meaningful connections and with the powerhouse of these four stars, high expectations on the premise can be expected.
