A new $200 million spy thriller once again invokes the name of JK Rowling
After finally reminding everyone that it not only exists, but will be released in a few months: Matthew Vaughns Argylle is about to launch headfirst into its marketing campaign Kingman The creator’s latest dive into the world of espionage hits theaters in February next year.
With a star-studded cast and an ingenious concept, the story finds Bryce author Dallas Howard caught up in a global conspiracy after her latest novel appears to plot a tactical operation that has attracted the attention of the world’s greatest spy agencies , with the narrative oscillating between the real world and the fictional universe created on the page.
Mentioning JK Rowling’s name may not be the wisest move given the situation Harry Potter The author’s increasingly polarizing presence in the pop culture pantheon, but Vaughn still did it again in an appearance at New York Comic-Con (per The Hollywood Reporter), which explains his self-aware blockbuster’s place in the world.
“We wanted to do something very meta. I just liked the idea of what would happen if a wizard went to JK Rowling in the third book and said, “You know what?” Wizards are real. Hogwarts is real. I am real. “I’m going to show you what it’s really like” and go on an adventure. We thought we were doing this with spies. So I think Elly Conway will become a JK Rowling of spy movies and spy novels in real life.”
You get the gist Argylle That’s as far as Vaughn is saying, but as we’ve seen numerous times, continuing to mention someone by name that’s destined to elicit some form of reaction whenever is perhaps not the best way to guarantee that elusive crossover appeal he appears in the headlines.
