In case that isn’t enough Harry-Styles-in-the-1950s content for you though (and let’s be real, can you ever get enough?) the musician-slash-actor is now in final negotiations to star in an adaptation of My Policeman, based on Bethan Roberts’ 2012 novel of the same name. As reported by Collider, Lily James – of Baby Driver and Little Woods – is also slated to star as the female lead in the queer love story. Specifically, the story revolves around a love triangle between a museum curator named Patrick, a policeman (obviously) named Tom, and Marion, the schoolteacher Tom’s married to. Though Tom is in love with Patrick, the setting – Brighton in the 1950s – means it’s too dangerous to share their love publicly, and things come to a head when one of his two lovers can’t take “sharing” him any more. The male co-star of Styles and James is yet to be cast in the Amazon Studios production, which is expected to begin next summer. Escape the algorithm!
