- Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are in talks for ‘The Drama’.
- It’s the new movie from ‘Dream Scenario’ filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli.

As they find space in their schedules waiting for other big projects to kick back in again, sequel) are looking to co-star in a new movie together.
That film is called ‘The Drama’ and will be the latest effort from writer/director Dream Scenario’.
Deadline reports that the starry duo are in early talks to take the lead roles in the movie.
What’s the story of ‘The Drama’?

Plot details for this latest Borgli movie are under wraps at this point, but Deadline has heard that it could well follow a romantic couple who have decided to get married, but who hit a rough patch before the big day.
Given how ‘Dream Scenario’ turned out –– Cage starred as an unassuming college professor who unexpectedly starts showing up in people’s dreams, to initially comedic and then weirdly violent effect, meditation on insta-celebrity and cancel culture –– we’d expect there will be more to it than that. And you know neither Pattinson nor Zendaya would want to star in a basic romantic drama.
