It turns out Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh were just warming up at the Oscars
After presenting at the Oscars together on Sunday, Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh will now star in We Live In Time
Aux News Pugh
If Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield seemed a little chummy while presenting at this year’s Oscars, it’s because the two have secretly been in talks to star in a romance film from Brooklyn director John Crowley.
Deadline reports Garfield and Pugh will lead We Live In Time, “a funny, deeply moving and immersive love story.” Further plot details remain under wraps, but Crowley is directing the film based on a script by Nick Payne (Wanderlust).
Pugh hasn’t exactly cut her teeth on romantic roles, instead gravitating toward intense dramas, and just days ago just said it’d be “strange” to take on a role akin to those in a Nancy Meyers film.
“It’s no secret that I only pick very intense roles,” Pugh said four days ago while promoting Zach Braff’s new film, A Good Person. “This isn’t the first time I’ve been reduced to tears pretty much every single scene that I’ve been in. I like finding the ugliness in humans. I love being raw. I love being given a script where it challenges myself and I have never picked a role unless I’ve been scared of it.”
Well, a funny love story certainly sounds like a rom-com—which is not a bad word, Florence! We won’t grill her too hard for this, but we are interested in what was raw and frightening about voicing Goldilocks in Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. And we won’t even get into Don’t Worry Darling (we’re sure she still doesn’t want to either).
The project is also an exciting turn for Garfield, who’s spent the last few years predominantly playing intense religious types and Spider-Man. His last romance feature role was in 2017's Breathe, opposite Claire Foy. We Live In Time will mark the first time Pugh and Garfield have shared a set, and we hope these two powerhouses just have a good time.

She gonna eat you alive, Andrew!Ya lucky bastid’ ya!
We Live In Time… about 15 years apart.
It’s 12, actually, but that never stops Hollywood. (Truth is, Garfield still reads as 30….) At least she’s not playing his mother. (I’m looking at you, folks who cast Emmy Rossum as Tom Holland’s mom. If it’s in flashbacks, I forgive you.)
Odds they both get to play with their natural accents: 20 to 1.
New York is totally going to be a character. But in a surprise twist, Pugh plays the “Baxter” that Garfield has to let go in order to pursue his relationship with Amelia Dimoldenberg, who does a broad French accent just because.
Her scenes with Hailee Steinfeld on Hawkeye were kind of like a rom-com
What are you trying to get me to want to watch Hawkeye?!
I guess so yeah, or at least their scenes, which I’m sure you could watch on youtube
Might be damning with faint praise, but Hawkeye is easily the best of the MCU streaming series.
No it’s not
It was until it went full Marvel stupid in the last episode, anyway.Not a patch on Loki, in the end.
I was going to disagree with you and say, “There’s no way that snoozefest is the best MCU show.” And then I remembered all the other MCU shows. So, yeah, by default, I guess it is. Unless you count “Agent Carter” and the Madisyn episode of “She-Hulk.”
And lo, the Gods of Irony decreed that John Crowley would drop out of directing the film, to be replaced by Nancy Myers.
Immersive? So? Real sex?
Could this be a renamed adaptation of Payne’s play Constellations? That would be very “on trend” for our current multiverse zeitgeist. Equally happy if it’s something new and similarly high concept – Constellations is excellent, as is most of Payne’s writing.
Florence PEEEWWWWWWWWWW!
FlorPu!
Flo-P
Puhhhhhh
These two are so fucking.
sofa king?
Garfield’s ‘Under the Silver Lake’ (2018) is a classic.
