Get ready for a romantic comedy that's sure to have you swooning! Natalia Dyer, fresh off the success of Stranger Things, is diving into a new project that promises to be a heartwarming treat.
Dyer, who captivated audiences as Nancy Wheeler, has joined forces with Kiernan Shipka and Cole Sprouse in Amazon MGM's upcoming rom-com, Goodbye Girl. This film, produced by Gulfstream Pictures, is set to begin production in the vibrant city of New Orleans, bringing a touch of magic to the Big Easy.
But here's where it gets interesting: Goodbye Girl follows the story of Jess, played by Shipka, who's a professional heartbreaker. Yes, you heard that right! Jess is hired to break hearts, but this time, she might just find her own heart breaking in the process. When she's tasked with dumping a groom-to-be, played by Sprouse, days before his wedding, things take an unexpected turn. She not only messes up the job but also falls head over heels in love. And this is where the story truly comes alive.
The film is directed by Oran Zegman, known for his work on Paramount+'s Honor Society, and the script is penned by Danielle Hoover and David Monahan, based on a story by Hoover, Monahan, and Jessica Elbaum. With a talented team behind the scenes, including producers Mike Karz and William Bindley of Gulfstream, along with Dawn Bierschwal and Ryan Lewis of The RAD Lab, and Daniel Wagner, Goodbye Girl is shaping up to be a must-watch.
Dyer's involvement adds an exciting element to the project, especially considering her impressive track record. Her performance as Nancy Wheeler in Stranger Things left a lasting impact, with the final season breaking records. In just five days, the final installment garnered an incredible 59.6 million views, setting a new benchmark for Netflix. Season 5 continued to impress, shattering a Nielsen record and ranking as the fourth most popular English-language series on the platform. Dyer's previous credits include Peacock's Based on a True Story and films like Velvet Buzzsaw and Yes, God, Yes, solidifying her place as a rising star.
As for Dyer's role in Goodbye Girl, details are still under wraps, leaving us with a tantalizing mystery. Will she be a love interest, a confidant, or perhaps a rival? Only time will tell.
