Ahead, here’s everything you need to know about Abrams’ upcoming film debut, Please.
Who stars in Please?
Gracie Abrams is attached to star in Please, which will serve as the Grammy-winner’s acting debut. Even though Abrams hasn’t acted previously, her ties to the film world run deep, thanks to her father, powerhouse writer, director, and producer, J.J. Abrams.
Who will be appearing alongside Abrams in the film remains a mystery for now, however, as other casting announcements have not been made yet.
When will Please be released in theaters?
A24 has not announced a release date for Please, but expect a bit of a wait, since the film hasn’t even gone into production yet.
What is Please about?
Plot details for Please are currently being kept under wraps, but a look back at Reijn’s previous two collaborations with A24 suggest that it might lean toward the thriller and horror genres, if the writer-director continues to explore the same themes and stories she’s had success with in the past.
Reijn’s last two films for A24 were 2022’s Bodies Bodies Bodies, a satirical ensemble horror slasher and 2024’s Babygirl, an erotic thriller starring Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson, that became one of A24’s biggest global hits, earning $64 million worldwide, according to Variety.
