EXCLUSIVE: Margaret Qualley is set to star in the Amazon MGM Studios pic, Love of Your Life, with Rachel Morrison directing. Julia Cox wrote the script with Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson are producing.
Plot details are under wraps. Deadline was first to report the major script sale in October after an intense bidding war, which Gosling and Henderson won for Amazon MGM Studios. At the time, the auction was one of the bigger ones of the year given that no talent was involved outside of the producers, so once Amazon MGM Studios came on board, the lead role was seen as one of the more highly-coveted role in town for any A-list leading lady. While sources say several individuals were in the hunt the part, Qualley seemed like the top-choice from the start esepcially meeting with Morrison for the role earlier this year.
Qualley is coming off a very strong year that included her critically acclaimed role in the Oscar-nominated thriller The Substance. She is currently filming Ridley Scott’s Dog Stars DOG STARS with Jacob Elordi and she also has the Ethan Coen pic Honey Don’t coming out this August, which she is the lead of with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans. Other high-profile credits include Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood and The Maid.
Qualley is repped by CAA, Anonymous, Sloane, Offer, Weber and Dern.
