David Harbour lands huge movie role in true crime thriller with Courtney Cox directing after ex-wife Lily Allen’s scathing album

by

David Harbour appears to be moving forward after his recent personal issues, securing a major new role in a film.

Singer Lily, age 40, recently released her album ‘West End Girl,’ which seems to imply her ex-partner had an affair with someone named Madeline.

It seems David is leaving the previous controversy behind, as he’s now starting work on a true crime thriller based on a well-known case.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m keeping an eye on all the exciting things happening in entertainment! I’m thrilled to share that the incredibly talented actor, who just turned 50, is teaming up with the phenomenal Patricia Arquette. He’s been working hard promoting the final season of his sci-fi/horror hit, Strange Things, before it drops on Netflix, and now he’s ready for this new project. It’s a fantastic pairing, and I can’t wait to see what they create together!

Courteney Cox, known for her role on Friends, is directing a new movie called Evil Genius. The film will feature Michael Cernus, Danielle Macdonald, Garrett Dillahunt, Tom McCarthy, and Gregory Alan Williams.

Oh my gosh, you guys, the script for the new show is totally based on that incredible Netflix documentary, ‘Making a Murderer’! The one from 2018? I’ve watched it like, a million times, and it’s amazing they’re finally bringing this story to life again! I’m so excited to see how they adapt it!

This recounts the story of the notorious ‘pizza bomber’ incident, centering on pizza delivery driver Brian Wells and his involvement in a bank robbery orchestrated by Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong.

The project centers around a strange and disturbing true crime case: a pizza delivery driver robbed a bank while wearing a bomb around his neck, and the story quickly becomes even more bizarre.

Rounding out the famous cast are Owen Teague, Ryan Eggold and Harlow Jane.

Courtney shared that she’s been captivated by the story of Evil Genius ever since watching the documentary. She described it as a bizarre yet compelling tale, at times both darkly humorous and profoundly moving.

This is a story exploring themes of love and isolation, how people can be controlled, and the way ordinary individuals get caught up in extraordinary circumstances.

Daily Mail have contacted David Harbour’s representatives for comment.  

David recently spoke publicly for the first time about his divorce from Lily, which follows the release of her new album detailing their difficult relationship and his alleged infidelity.

Before releasing his new album, West End Girl, the actor spoke with Esquire Spain about turning 50 and the lessons he’s learned from his past struggles and errors.

Let’s talk about turning pain into art. After discovering my partner’s three-year affair and everything that came with it, I channeled my feelings into my music. Specifically, the songs ‘Tennis’ and ‘Madeline’ on my latest album really explore those difficult emotions and what I was going through. It was a way to process everything and, honestly, a really healing experience.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following Lily’s journey, and her new single, ‘Madeline,’ is incredibly raw and honest. It’s clearly inspired by a painful experience – a betrayal of trust. The lyrics, especially the line ‘I can’t trust anything that comes out of his mouth,’ really hit home and speak to the heartbreak she’s going through after discovering her partner, David, was unfaithful. It’s a brave move to channel that pain into her art, and I think a lot of people will connect with the vulnerability she’s showing.

In the song “Tennis,” Lily mentions a woman she questions her partner about after spotting a text from her on his phone.

When asked if he’d change anything about the past fifty years, David responded that it was a difficult question. He explained he would either change everything, or nothing at all.

Embrace your life’s journey fully, understanding that even challenges, failures, and mistakes are valuable parts of it. These experiences offer opportunities for learning, wisdom, and a stronger connection to yourself and others.

It’s a very delicate system – if you alter even one part of it, everything else needs to be adjusted as well.

You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about what people would change if they could, and I recently heard someone say they’d overhaul everything if they had the chance. They wanted to just prioritize joy and silliness in their life, but recognized that doing so would mean letting go of their artistic identity – and that felt like a real loss. It’s a fascinating trade-off, isn’t it? Sometimes pursuing your passion means sacrificing a certain kind of carefree happiness, and it’s something a lot of us grapple with.

David talked about his future, saying he wants to spend the next 50 years showing love and kindness to the people he cares about, and helping them grow.

The interview is being released following the huge reaction to Lily’s new album, which revealed shocking details about the end of her marriage to her unfaithful ex-husband, David.

“West End Girl” is a deeply personal album about her four-year marriage to the actor from Stranger Things. She met him on the Raya dating app, and the album’s 14 songs honestly explore the painful end of their relationship.

Oh my god, her NEW album! It’s been SEVEN years, can you believe it?! And get this – she recorded the whole thing in just TEN DAYS! It all happened after… well, after everything with him last December. Apparently, she found out about his affair – a THREE-YEAR affair! – and all the other things he’d been doing. It’s like she poured all that heartbreak and anger straight into the music, and honestly? It’s her best work yet. I’m obsessed!

Fans have been closely examining the popular album, hoping to find clues about the couple’s split.
