Author Robinne Lee drew inspiration for her sensational debut novel, The Idea of You, in 2017. She stumbled upon the face of a boy she had never seen before in a band she had never paid attention to while browsing music videos on YouTube late at night. This encounter sparked her creativity, and as she delved deeper into her research on One Direction, she combined her findings with elements from other real-life men, such as Prince Harry, Eddie Redmayne, some of her ex-partners, and even her own husband, to craft the fictional character of Hayes.Lee previously informed Vogue that the intention behind the book was never to focus on Harry Styles. Instead, it was meant to be a narrative centered around a woman in her late thirties reclaiming her sexuality and rediscovering herself. This transformation occurs at a time when society typically disregards women as desirable, viable, and complete individuals.
The film features a talented cast including Hathaway, Galitzine, Scott, Rubin, Mumolo, Bloomgarden, Cham, Gianopoulos, Hall, Lovelle, Manohar, Mattfeld, and Millidge.
The Idea of You will debut on Prime Video on May 2 and will have its world premiere at SXSW this month.
