Apple Original Films announced today it will expand its film slate with All of You, a humorous and heart-wrenching romantic drama starring and written by Emmy Award winner Brett Goldstein. The film was co-written and directed by Emmy Award winner William Bridges (Black Mirror).

Following its acclaimed world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and premiere at the BFI London Film Festival earlier this year, All of You will make its global debut on Apple TV+ in 2025.

When an exciting new test matching soulmates together comes between two best friends, they spend the next twelve years trying to resist the urge to disrupt the paths their lives have taken — marriage, children and tragedy — despite the undeniable feeling they belong together.

The film stars Goldstein and Imogen Poots, along with Steven Cree and Zawe Ashton.

Hailing from MRC and Republic Pictures, the feature is produced by Ryder Picture Company’s Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett.

Apple Original Films has scooped up “All Of You,” a slightly sci-fi, bittersweet romance from star and co-writer Brett Goldstein.

The “Ted Lasso” alum shared scriptwriting duties with the film’s director William Bridges (“Black Mirror”) and co-stars with Imogen Poots. The project premiered at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival and went on to screen at the London Film Festival.

Produced by MRC, Republic Pictures and Ryder Picture Company, “All of You” exists in a world where a new test matching soulmates together comes between two best friends. They spend over a decade trying to resist the urge to disrupt the paths their lives have taken — marriage, children, and tragedy — despite the undeniable feeling that they belong together. Steven Cree and Zawe Ashton also star in the film, set for a 2025 streaming debut.

Emmy winners Goldstein and Bridges also served as producers with Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett.

All of You first shone at the Toronto International Film Festival, introducing writer-director William Bridges and his exceptional cast. Bridges crafted this tale alongside co-writer Brett Goldstein, who also takes the leading role of Simon alongside Imogen Poots as Laura. Their magnetic performances drive this heartfelt story exploring friendship, attraction, and the complexities of love.

Set in a near future, society has developed a “Soul Connex” test to scientifically determine one’s perfect match. When lifelong companions Laura and Simon encounter this new technology, dynamics begin to shift between them. While Laura decides to learn her match is a kind man named Lukas, Simon finds himself increasingly drawn to the woman who’s understood him like no other.

As their bond evolves from platonic to passionate, complications naturally arise. Laura has built a life with her supposed soulmate and child, yet her connection with Simon cuts deeper than any scientific decree ever could.

Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh play a couple running out of time in director John Crawley’s new romantic drama. Our We Live In Time review:

As soon as news broke that Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh would star in romantic drama We Live In Time, the internet went nuts – and for good reason. The pair are among Hollywood’s brightest young stars, and the online reaction – not to mention the film’s viral horse meme – was testament to that.

The trailers have already revealed most of the story, but let’s recap a little anyway. Almut (Florence Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) fall in love quickly and passionately. Their relationship goes from casual to serious to even more serious when Almut is diagnosed with cancer.

From this alone, We Live In Time sounds awfully cliched. Some of it is, but Crowley (and screenwriter Nick Payne) smartly tells the story in non-linear fashion,...

Brett Goldstein is premiering his new movie at the 2024 BFI London Film Festival!

The 44-year-old Emmy-winning actor joined co-star Imogen Poots stepped out for the premiere of their movie All of You on Thursday (October 10) held at BFI Southbank in London, England.

Fellow cast member Steven Cree was also in attendance along with director William Bridges.

“In the story, set in the near-future, science has devised a method to determine one’s true soulmate — if one is willing to take the test. An unexpected answer comes between Simon (Goldstein) and Laura (Poots), and their meetings over the years after Laura discovers who her ideal partner really is take on an increasing, painful intensity,” according to Variety.

Brett co-wrote the screenplay with William.

It was recently announced that Brett and Jennifer Lopez will be starring together in a new Netflix rom-com! Find out more about the movie.

Fyi: Imogen is wearing a Jason Wu Collection dress.

Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots star as two star-crossed lovers in director William Bridges’ near-future drama. Here’s our All Of You review.

All Of You, director and co-writer William Bridges’ tender romantic drama, ponders the question of whether love can be defined and determined by a test. The specifics of The Test aren’t explained, but the film is set in a near-future London where science has been able to develop such a thing. All Of You isn’t a sci-fi film, per se, but it asks us if we’re willing to go down this path of predetermined relationships in the future.

Brett Goldstein – who co-wrote – plays Simon, a journalist who is clearly harbouring feelings for his best friend Laura (Imogen Poots). Laura decides to take The Test and is soon paired with Lukas (Steven Cree). Simon does his best to move on and push his feelings for...

Many films have dared to ask if a man and a woman can ever just be friends, but very few have managed to answer in the affirmative. For most of its first half, All of You appeared destined to wind up another addition to this romantic canon, as journalist Simon (Brett Goldstein) slowly realizes his best friend since university, Laura (Imogen Poots), might be the love of his life. So far, so uninteresting, even if the conversational writing and grounded performances helped elevate it above the Richard Curtis brand of high-concept tearjerker. Then, around the midway point, Simon and Laura are prematurely forced to confront this elephant in the room––at which point the screenplay, written by Goldstein and director William Bridges, reveals itself far more emotionally intelligent and less-idealistic in its exploration of their changing relationship dynamics than the lovelorn first act would suggest.

In an undefined near-future where...

After notching another successful Netflix original movie in 2024 with Atlas, Jennifer Lopez is setting her Netflix return and getting back to her rom-com roots. The global superstar has been a romantic comedy staple and has shared the screen with many talented and handsome leading men, and this time around, she's working alongside a very funny Ted Lasso star.

Deadline reports that Lopez is set to star in the Netflix romantic comedy Office Romance with Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein, who's also co-writing the new movie. While there's no official synopsis for the upcoming rom-com yet, Deadline refers to Office Romance as "irreverent." Maybe Lopez and Goldstein's characters will be like Jim and Pam in another wacky office environment!

As with most of her movies, Lopez will executive produce Office Romance under her Nuyorican Films banner, which has a first-look deal with Netflix. Goldstein wrote the script with Joe Kelly,...

Jennifer Lopez is returning to Netflix.

Lopez is partnering with “Ted Lasso” co-writer star Brett Goldstein for new romantic comedy “Office Romance,” according to media reports.

Emmy winner Goldstein is also writing the script with Joe Kelly, another “Ted Lasso” vet. A director, meanwhile, is not yet attached.

Earlier this year, Lopez starred in the sci-fi adventure “Atlas” for Netflix and before that appeared in “The Mother” for the streamer.

“Unstoppable,” Lopez’s sports drama that is due this December from Amazon MGM Studios, recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it received a rousing response. It marks the directorial debut of editor William Goldenberg and was produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Goldstein recently had his option extended for a potential fourth season of Apple TV+’s breakout comedy “Ted Lasso,” even though, by prior accounts, the series had concluded with the third season. He also had a feature,...

Jennifer Lopez has clearly gotten a kick out of her recent Netflix films, as the performer is preparing to return to the streamer for her next feature.

Lopez and Ted Lasso standout Brett Goldstein are set to star in the Netflix rom-com Office Romance, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Goldstein is writing the script with Joe Kelly. Plot details have not been shared, and a director is not yet attached.

Earlier this year, Lopez starred in director Brad Peyton’s Netflix sci-fi flick Atlas, opposite Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown. Prior to that, she led the streamer’s 2023 action film The Mother for director Niki Caro.

Lopez’s next movie is director William Goldenberg’s sports drama Unstoppable, which Amazon MGM Studios is set to release in December after its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month. Centering on real-life wrestler Anthony Robles, the film counts...

Exclusive: After delivering Netflix two hit movies in The Mother and Atlas, Jennifer Lopez is readying her next feature with the streamer, this time pairing with two-time Ted Lasso Emmy winner Brett Goldstein for the irreverent romantic comedy Office Romance. There was a hot bidding war for the feature, which Netflix won.

Goldstein and Joe Kelly are co-writing the rom-com, which we hear from sources has several great character actor roles.

Producers on Office Romance are Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett for Ryder Picture Company; Goldstein and Kelly; as well as Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina for Nuyorican Films. Nuyorican’s Courtney Baxter is executive producer.

Nuyorican Productions has a multiyear first-look deal with Netflix spanning feature films, TV series and unscripted content, with an emphasis on projects that support diverse female actors, writers and filmmakers.

Both Lopez and Goldstein recently had pics at the Toronto Film Festival.

“All Of You” is a slim, modest, 100-minute love story starring Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots. But in its decade-spanning structure and proclamations of “one true love” and “true soul mate,” it very much wants to be “Doctor Zhivago” or another such sweeping romance. Only it obviously isn’t and leaves you with a feeling of much ado about nothing. William Bridges makes his feature directorial debut from a script he co-wrote with Goldstein, based on the short “For Life” they had made years earlier.

Miles Davis’ live work with his Second Great Quintet — as documented in a handful of unreleased French concerts — is the focus of the upcoming eighth volume in the late jazz legend’s Bootleg Series.

Miles in France – Miles Davis Quintet 1963/64: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8, due out November 8 via Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, features four hours of unreleased music that the trumpeter and his Second Great Quintet — pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, drummer Tony Williams and saxophonists George Coleman (in 1963) and Wayne Shorter (in 1964 — performed over...

“All of You” is set in a slightly futuristic society whose technological and society-altering centerpiece seems to be a test that can positively identify each person’s true soulmate. A pair of longtime platonic friends played by Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots have differing opinions about the test – she wants to take it, he thinks it’s ridiculous – but in the opening scene, he gives her the money to do it, and by doing so sets the story in motion.

And from that moment on, the soulmate test is pretty much irrelevant to “All of You,” which premiered this week at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s a classic cinematic MacGuffin, important to get things going and insignificant to what happens from that point on, which turns out to be a decades-spanning, vaguely “When Harry Met Sally”-style story of a friendship that could be something more if the...

Simon is secretly — but not subtly — in love with his best friend Laura, which makes sense because she’s played by a vivid and endearing Imogen Poots. Laura has never seemed to think of Simon in those terms, which makes less sense because he’s played by a sweet and strapping Brett Goldstein . I suppose there could be a number of sensible reasons why she hasn’t considered a romance with the boy from uni who really gets her, but the only one that matters to William Bridges’ “All of You” is this: Laura and Simon live in the age of Soul Connex, a test that can scientifically determine a person’s soulmate.

Laura is determined to pair off with the right man, and Simon is so eager for her to realize who the right man really is that he agrees to pay for her test and accompany her to the clinic.
