\n\t\u201cBabygirl\u201d writer\/director Halina Reijn<\/a> is continuing to expand the cast for her next film with A24<\/a>, this time adding a BAFTA winner into the mix. <\/p>\n

\n\tDavid Jonsson<\/a>, who won the BAFTA Rising Star award in 2025 for his breakout turns in \u201cRye Lane\u201d and \u201cAlien: Romulus,\u201d has joined \u201cPlease,\u201d which reunites Reijn with A24 for a third time. <\/p>\n

\n\tJonsson joins the already announced Gracie Abrams<\/a>, the Grammy-nominee making her acting debut, plus \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d star Connor Storrie and Jonsson\u2019s fellow British actor Tom Burke. <\/p>\n

\n\tPlot details for \u201cPlease\u201d are currently being kept under wraps, but like her satirical slasher \u201cBodies Bodies Bodies\u201d and erotic thriller \u201cBabygirl,\u201d which became one of A24\u2019s most successful titles earning $64 million globally, Reijn is again set to write and direct. <\/p>\n

\n\tDavid Hinojosa will produce, re-teaming with Reijn for the third time. Reijn is producing through her MAN UP Film banner, with A24 also producing and financing. Zach Nutman will executive produce.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPlease\u201d marks the next step in a growing library for the increasingly in-demand Jonsson. Last year he earned praise for dystopian survival thriller \u201cThe Long Walk,\u201d based on the Stephen King novel, and fronted the well-received Brit indie prison thriller \u201cWasteman\u201d alongside Tom Blyth, which bowed in Toronto. He also exec produced \u201cWasteman\u201d alongside Sophie Glibber, with whom he set up the production company greyarea. <\/p>\n

\n\tUpcoming projects for Jonsson include Colman Domingo\u2019s directorial debut \u201cScandalous,\u201d playing Sammy Davis Jnr opposite Sydney Sweeney as Kim Novak. He\u2019s also reuniting with his \u201cThe Long Walk\u201d co-star Cooper Hoffman in Plan B\u2019s \u201cChaperones\u201d from India Donaldson, and will star in a lead role in Frank Ocean\u2019s as-yet-untitled debut feature. <\/p>\n

\n\tJonsson is represented by United Agents, CAA, and Granderson Des Rochers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cBabygirl\u201d writer\/director Halina Reijn is continuing to expand the cast for her next film with A24, this time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":956592,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[21211,4080,172764,77,74763,267073,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-956591","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-a24","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-david-jonsson","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-gracie-abrams","13":"tag-halina-reijn","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116566175243925935","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=956591"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956591\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/956592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=956591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=956591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=956591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
