Let’s start by giving some names. Let’s take a breath: Henry Cavill (The Witcher), the gigantic Sam Rockwell, Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), the legendary comedian Catherine O’Hara, John Cena (Fast X), Dua LipaAriana DeBose (Oscar winner for West Side Story) and the legend Samuel L. Jackson. As if such a thing. This is the amazing cast of ‘Argylle’, the new film by Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman saga, Stardust, Kick-Ass), the film that debuts on Apple TV+ on February 2, 2024.
And the newly released trailer is not far behind. It is a spectacle for the eyes and ears. Argylle hits all the right buttons to succeed: an engaging plot, a truly luxurious cast, a fast-paced pace and a kitten, Alfie, played by German supermodel Claudia Schiffer’s real cat, Chip.
A brutal mix of action and comedy, that’s ‘Argylle: Secret Agent’
Argylle is actually an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Ellie Conway. Although, in reality, Ellie Conway is a pseudonym. Although the deal to adapt this film cost Apple a whopping $200 million, no one really knows this screenwriter and writer. Beyond a bum”“He lives in the United States and is currently working on the next installment of the series.”, the reality is that if you search for this name on the internet you will only find references to a fictional character from the Australian soap opera ‘Neighbors’. A mystery that contains another.
The film, for its part, tells the story of a novelist who has just achieved new success with a work about a world-class spy called ‘Argylle’ (Henry Cavill). The problem is that the plots recounted coincide too much with the covert actions of an authentic spy organization.
Bryce Dallas Howard plays Elly Conway, the author of a series of hugely successful spy novels. When her work leads her to focus on the history of Argylle and delve deeper into that spy syndicate, she begins to be in real danger. Always next to her cat, Alfie—stuck in a kind of backpack that looks like something out of ‘Starfield’—Elly will have to face the consequences of her work.
Based on a script by Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman, I Still See You, Welcome to Derry), Argylle is Matthew Vaughn’s new feature-length bet, and it aims to be a success when there are still a few months left before the premiere on Apple TV+. There is no shortage of endorsements, of course.
