Led by Nicholas Hoult (who also starred in Doremus’ “Equals“) and Laia Costa, the story follows Martin and Gabi, who meet through the dating app WINX, and find themselves talking into the early hours. It’s exciting, it’s new, and they rush into a relationship, go out on dates, and move in together. But is this love? It’s potent premise for our times, and we chatting with Doremus about online dating and working with his cast.
Well, Nic and I really wanted to work together again on something and I was such a huge fan of Laia and really wanted to work with her so like always for me the casting process starts with who I’m desperate to work with and then the chemistry has to feel right in my head and here it was a no brainer for both.
Nic and Laia really brought something special out of each other.
I’m here for the fellow sloth enthusiasts.
