Constance Wu (“Crazy Rich Asians”) and Sam Heughan (“Outlander”) will join Freida Pinto, Sope Dirisu and Oliver Jackson-Cohen in the cast of the romantic comedy “Mr. Malcolm’s List”.
Wu is Julia, a society lady jilted by London’s most eligible bachelor Mr. Malcolm (Dirisu) when she fails to meet one of the items on his list of requirements for a bride. Shunned and humiliated, she enlists her friend Selina (Pinto) to help her take revenge on Mr. Malcolm by tricking him into thinking he has found his perfect match.
The plan appears to be working when Henry (Heughan) threatens Julia’s scheme by courting Selina as well. After the bumbling Lord Cassidy (Jackson-Cohen) begins meddling in the foursome’s affairs, the course of true love becomes rocky. Mr. Malcolm wonders whether he’s found the perfect woman…or the perfect hoax.
Emma Holly Jones helms this expansion of her short film which has reached over one million views on Youtube and is based on an upcoming novel of the same name. Suzanne Allain penned the script for the feature while Laura Rister, Laura Lewis, Katie Holly and Emma Holly Jones produce.
