'Red, White & Royal Blue' Trailer: A Cake-tastrophe Turns Into a Royal Romance in R-Rated Queer Rom-Com

Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine go from enemies to friends to lovers in the trailer for their upcoming Prime Video movie Red, White & Royal Blue.

Directed by Matthew Lopez, the movie is based on Casey McQuiston‘s novel of the same name and centers on the relationship between First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz (Perez) and Prince Henry (Galitzine).

A tussle at a royal wedding leads to the cake-tastrophe of the century. However, it also puts the unlikely pair on the path to finding a happily ever after. That doesn’t mean it’ll be easy.

First Photos from 'Red, White & Royal Blue' Movie Are Making Us Even More Excited for August 11

The film adaptation of Red, White & Royal Blue is being released in just two months and the first photos from the movie have finally been revealed!

Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine look like such a cute couple in these first look photos.

Also starring in the movie, and featured in the pics, are Uma Thurman, Sarah Shahi, Ellie Bamber, Rachel Hilson, and Malcolm Atobrah.

Here’s a full synopsis: Alex Claremont-Diaz (Perez), the son of the first woman President of the United States (Thurman), and Britain’s Prince Henry (Galitzine) have a lot in common: stunning good looks, undeniable charisma, international popularity…and a total disdain for each other. Separated by an ocean, their long-running feud hasn’t really been an issue, until a disastrous – and very public — altercation at a royal event becomes tabloid fodder driving a potential wedge in U.S./British relations at the worst possible time. Going into damage control mode, their powerful families and respective handler’s force the two rivals into a staged “truce.” But as Alex and Henry’s icy relationship unexpectedly begins to thaw into a tentative friendship, the friction that existed between them sparks something deeper than they ever expected.

Tony Award-winning playwright Matthew López makes his feature film writing and directing debut.

Red, White & Royal Blue will premiere on Prime Video on August 11th.

Broadway's 'Caroline or Change' & 'Birthday Candles' Will Now Open in the Fall

Roundabout Theatre Company has announced that the upcoming productions of the musical Caroline, or Change and the play Birthday Candles will be pushed back to the fall.

Both shows were going to open in the spring, but due to the Broadway shut down because of the current health crisis, neither show will be opening anytime soon.

Caroline, or Change is a revival of the beloved Jeanine Tesori-Tony Kushner musical starring the West End actress Sharon D. Clarke. Birthday Candles is a new Noah Haidle play starring Debra Messing. While both leading ladies are confirmed to continue with the productions, its not yet known if the rest of the casts will return.

“Our desire is to provide certainty and confidence to our artists, staff and audiences that we will come back from this hiatus with a full season,” said Roundabout Artistic Director/CEO Todd Haimes in a statement. “We are committed to the future of the theatre and its long-term sustainability in this crisis. Moving planned productions to dates certain in the fall protects the health and safety of everyone while ensuring employment for our staff and artists, creating clarity for our subscribers and donors, and providing a clear production timeline that allows everyone – on stage and off – to strategically plan to support the beautiful work coming to our stages in ’20-’21.”
