A24 has scheduled the release of the romantic comedy The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, for April 3 in North America. The film, written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, explores a couple’s relationship challenges as they approach their wedding day.
Kristoffer Borgli’s Role and Previous Work
This marks Borgli’s fourth feature film and his second collaboration with A24, following the 2023 release of his surreal black comedy Dream Scenario. That film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to positive acclaim, earning Nicolas Cage a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical.
Cast and Supporting Roles
Alongside Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, The Drama features performances by Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie, and Hailey Gates. While A24 remains discreet about the storyline, the film centers around the romantic complications faced by the leading couple as they prepare for their significant day.
Production Team and Collaborative Partnerships
The project is produced by Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen under their Square Peg banner, with Kristoffer Borgli and Tyler Campellone producing through Dilemma Films in association with A24. Square Peg and A24 have a history of successful ventures together, including titles like Dream Scenario, Death of a Unicorn, and Ari Aster’s directed films such as Hereditary, Midsommar, Beau Is Afraid, and Eddington.
Upcoming Projects Featuring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson
Both Zendaya and Robert Pattinson will appear in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film The Odyssey, alongside an ensemble cast that includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron. Additionally, the duo will share the screen again in Dune: Part Three, with Zendaya returning to her established role and Pattinson joining the franchise for the first time.
Individual Career Movements in 2024
Zendaya is slated to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and will reprise her role in the third season of HBO’s Euphoria. Robert Pattinson’s upcoming work includes starring alongside Jennifer Lawrence in Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love, released by Mubi, and appearing in Lance Oppenheim’s debut narrative feature Primetime, produced by A24 and recently completed filming.
