In the enchanting trailer for Amazon MGM Studios' "Picture This," Simone Ashley and Hero Fiennes Tiffin's paths serendipitously intertwine as Ashley's character, Pia, embarks on a quest to find a date for her sister's wedding. Directed by the talented Prarthana Mohan, this romantic comedy is set to captivate audiences on Prime Video beginning March 6th. Joining Ashley and Fiennes Tiffin are a stellar ensemble cast, including Sindhu Vee, Luke Fetherston, Nikesh Patel, Adil Ray, Anoushka Chadha, and Phil Dunster.
"Picture This" revolves around Pia (Ashley), an aspiring photographer grappling with her career and love life. She receives an intriguing prophecy: love awaits her over the span of her next five dates. Her meddling family leaps into action, eager to play cupid, just as Pia's former flame, Charlie (Fiennes Tiffin), reappears in her life, stirring old emotions.
"I thought being independent meant being alone," muses Ashley in the trailer, her eyes reflecting a mix of longing and resolve. "But taking photos made me realize the kind of life that I wanted to have."
As the footage unfolds, Fiennes Tiffin, with a poignant gaze, confesses to her, "I still think about you, Pia." When she hesitates to reciprocate his sentiments, he playfully persists, "You just drew that out of me. You're not going to respond to it?"
Mohan masterfully steers the film, based on Nikita Lalwani's script, which draws inspiration from the 2024 Australian romantic comedy "Five Blind Dates." Producers Ben Pugh and Erica Steinberg have painstakingly crafted a heartwarming narrative that promises to delight.
Ashley, renowned for her roles in Netflix's "Bridgerton" and "Sex Education," further showcases her versatility in the upcoming racing film "F1," alongside Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, whose teaser trailer premiered during the Super Bowl pre-game festivities. Fiennes Tiffin, whose credits span from "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to the "After" film series and Guy Ritchie's 2024 flick "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," delivers yet another compelling performance.
Together, they bring "Picture This" to life, weaving a tale of love, self-discovery, and the beauty of second chances.
