Henry Golding Is Set to Star in the Sci-Fi Romance Film DANIELA FOREVER
The sci-fi romance movie Daniela Forever has hired its lead actor, with Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians, Simple Favor) set to star. Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo (Colossal) is directing and executive producing along with Nahikari Ipiña at Sayaka Producciones, along with Benoit Roland at Wrong Men, Leire Apellaniz at Señor y Señora, and XYZ Films.
Daniela Forever, which is set to shoot in Madrid, Spain, this spring/summer, will see Golding play a man struggling to come to terms with the sudden death of his girlfriend in an accident six months prior. So, he signs up for a sleep trial that allows him to reconstruct his life with her through the use of lucid dreams.
Sounds like a Vanilla Sky vibe. Vigalondo said of the project:
“This movie is built around a deeply human character trapped in twisted plot, something Henry Golding is so perfect for this almost feels unreal. I’m enthusiastic about the team gathered around this project, and I hope the story delivers everything I want to say about love, dreams and Madrid.”
Golding is a great actor, and I really liked Vigalondo’s movie Colossal. It was such an original story and execution of the film. I am really looking forward to checking this movie out.
