The Drama Fun Facts:
Guerrilla Marketing in the News:
To promote the movie in December 2025, A24 place a fake wedding engagement announcement in The Boston Globe. The ad treated the main characters, Emma and Charlie, as if they were a real-life couple. It even shared "facts" about them—saying Emma is a bookstore clerk who graduated from Boston University and Charlie is a museum director with a PhD in art history from Tufts.
Triple the Star Power:
People are calling 2026 the "Year of Zendaya & Pattinson". The Drama is the first of three major films the two stars will appear in together. Later this year you can catch them together in Christopher Nolan’s epic adventure, The Odyssey, and Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi conclusion, Dune: Part 3.
Not Your Average Rom-Com:
Even though the genre is romantic comedy, the movie is directed by Kristoffer Borgli, and from his previous work, this suggests the movie will start as a lighthearted romance but turn into a moment that is awkward and painful to watch but in a way that looks great. The unsettling and chaotic moments also appeared towards the end of the first short trailer.
A Haunting Soundtrack:
The first short trailer uses a slow version of the 1990s pop song "I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis. The disturbing version of a famous love song shows how the character changes from a loving relationship into psychological confrontation.
Real-World Locations:
Although the movie takes place in many different locations, most of it was filmed in Boston and small towns in Massachusetts. The production crew also spent almost $3 million filming in Louisiana to capture the authentic scenery and history of Zendaya’s character.
The "Succession" Connection:
In the beginning of the first short trailer, Zoë Winters appeared as the couple's wedding photographer, cheerfully telling the couple to do a little warm-up for the photo shoot. If she looks familiar, that's because she is best known for her role as Kerry Castellabate on Succession.
