For producer Cathy Schulman, breaking streaming records for the Anne Hathaway hit is sweet. Even better are the lessons she learned in making this fresh genre entry.

The male lead of Amazon Prime Video's "The Idea of You" has opened about the roles that shaped him and the fears of how he's seen.

Robinne Lee, author of the best-selling novel "The Idea of You,” is addressing the changes made in the adaptation now streaming on Prime Video.

"The Idea of You" took its boy band August Moon very seriously.

Michael Showalter tells IndieWire how Apple's 1999 banger ended up in the movie — and it's not the first time a male comedy auteur has relied on her music to tell stories of women in romantic freefall.

Spoilers: The Michael Showalter film, starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, scores a more romantic ending in its on-screen iteration.

Galitzine, a musician himself, tells IndieWire about portraying a pop icon in "The Idea of You," where his first task was serenading Anne Hathaway for a chemistry read.

The Anne Hathaway- and Nicholas Galitzine-starring film is still very sexy, but Showalter explains how some clever tweaks turned it into a "Notting Hill"-esque outing that audiences already adore.

"A part of me loves the idea of having a huge worldwide theatrical hit," the Oscar winner said.

"It was considered normal to ask an actor to make out with other actors to test for chemistry, which is actually the worst way to do it," the "Idea of You" star recalled.

The adaptation of the viral 2017 novel offers poignant commentary in a fresh take on the rom-com genre.

Ahead of the film's SXSW premiere, Galitzine wants it known that his character in the fan-fiction adaptation is his own unique person.
