Johnson leads Materialists as a modern-day matchmaker, who made a name for herself by helping New York City elites find true love. Her personal and professional life grows complicated after she finds herself entangled with two very different men – a millionaire who seems like a perfect match (Pedro Pascal), and an imperfect ex she couldn’t move on from (Chris Evans).
In addition to Johnson, Evans, and Pascal, the supporting cast of Materialists includes Zoë Winters, Marin Ireland, Dasha Nekrasova, Louisa Jacobson, Sawyer Spielberg, Eddie Cahill, and Fernando Belo.
Materialists hails from the acclaimed director Celine Song, who got her big break with the semi-autobiographical romance drama Past Lives. Her directorial debut received nominations for best picture and best original screenplay at the Oscars, in addition to winning numerous other accolades.
Materialists will be released by A24 in the United States on June 13, while Sony Pictures Releasing will handle international release.
The Materialists will reportedly center on a high-end matchmaker who gets involved with a wealthy man, while still struggling to let go of her feelings for the broke actor-waiter she left behind. Johnson is in talks to play the lead role, with Evans and Pascal circling the project.
This project will reunite Song with A24, and they’re expected to take it to the European Film Market for sales. Killer Films and 2AM are also on board, with Christine Vachon and Pam Koffler of Killer Films and 2AM’s David Hinojosa coming on board as producers.
Song knocked it out of the park with her directorial film debut Past Lives, starring Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro. It became a huge hit following its premiere at last year’s Sundance Film Festival and received nominations for countless accolades. It will be in the running for best original screenplay and best picture at the upcoming Academy Awards.
