Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, starring Emma Thompson (Love, Actually) and Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), will premiere as an exclusive Hulu Original on June 17 in the United States. And today, the film’s trailer was unveiled by Searchlight Pictures.
Sophie Hyde-directed film revolves around Nancy Stokes (Thompson), a woman who has had a full life. As a retired educator and widow, she longs for the one thing she’s never had: a fulfilling sexual encounter. She resolves to take action, devising a scheme involving an incognito hotel room and a young sex worker named Leo Grande (McCormack). Leo is self-assured, and dapper, and takes great satisfaction in his ability to do a good job. He also seemed to be fascinated by Nancy, which is just one of the many things that took her by surprise over their time together.
Good Luck To You, Leo Grande debuted at Sundance 2022 and was subsequently purchased by Searchlight after the festival for around $7.5 million after receiving critical praise. The screenplay for the movie was written by Katy Brand, who also served as an executive producer for the project along with Hyde, Julian Gleek, Alison Thompson, Mark Gooder, Nessa McGill, and Nadia Khamlichi, and Martin Metz. The movie was produced by Debbie Gray and Adrian Politowski.
