One Day fans won’t want to miss Netflix’s new “seriously sizzling” romance with “perfect” cast
Netflix is about to release a fresh, heartwarming romance movie that ardent fans of “One Day” should undoubtedly keep an eye on.
In this gaming world, I’m diving into “Strangers We Encounter on Getaways,” a captivating tale spun from the 2021 blockbuster novel by Emily Henry. This narrative revolves around two comrades-in-arms who share every vacation, only to find themselves pondering if there might be something deeper brewing between them.
This book is frequently likened to David Nicholls’ “One Day,” as both narratives trace the development of a romantic relationship between their characters across multiple decades. Last year, it even found success on Netflix as a popular TV show.
What to Read Next
In the upcoming movie adaptation of “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” Tom Blyth and Emily Bader will portray the main characters, described as “routine-bound” Alex Nilsen and “unconstrained” Poppy Wright.
For over a decade now, we’ve been an unusual duo of friends, despite residing in separate cities. Every summer, though, our paths cross, and it feels like no time has passed since we last hung out.
The delicate equilibrium of their friendship faces a challenge as they start to ponder an idea that seems evident to others – might they, in fact, be destined for a romantic relationship? This is further suggested.
Previously, Henry expressed to Netflix that he had been quite worried and rather tense about who would portray these roles.
I am absolutely certain that both my readers and countless others, unaware of the book, will undeniably grow fond and enamored with Poppy and Alex.
As a gaming enthusiast, I couldn’t resist the urge to rewatch a scene four times within a span of 12 hours. With each playthrough, my admiration for it grew stronger. The initial laughter that erupted from me was genuine, and by the conclusion, I found myself moved to the core.
Fans have highly commended the selection of the main actors. One fan commented on an official Instagram video featuring Bader securing her role, saying “They’re a flawless fit for Poppy and Alex.” Another fan expressed similar sentiments, labeling the casting as “perfect.
“I just finished reading this book I am SO excited and SO happy,” a third added.
The film is being helmed by Brett Haley, director of “Heart Beats Loud,” with Yulin Kuang, Amos Vernon, and Nunzio Randazzo working on the screenplay adaptation of Henry’s book.
The original work by the author was hailed as both amusing and fiercely captivating by Best, and Take a Break concurred that the passionate love tale kept them on tenterhooks (according to Amazon).
The movie titled “People We Meet on Vacation” is being developed by Sony Pictures, with the team behind “Smile 2,” consisting of Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, and Isaac Klausner, serving as its producers.
