Lisa of BLACKPINK is officially stepping into Hollywood. The global icon who made her acting debut with The White Lotus Season 3 is now all set to make an appearance in a Netflix rom-com inspired by the 1999 classic Notting Hill.
The upcoming film marks a sweet reunion of Lisa and David Bernad who was the executive producer in The White Lotus. The idea for the project reportedly sparked on set of the series, where the two bonded over their shared love for the classic Notting Hill. Seeing the popularity of the show, David decided to take that spark and turn it into a full-fledged film. As per reports the film will be a mix of classic sensibility, pairing global celebrity with grounded, character-driven storytelling.
Netflix sharing a post on social media announced Lisa’s appearance in the film. The post wrote, “LISA will star in a new ‘Notting Hill-inspired’ romantic comedy feature for Netflix written by Katie Silberman (Booksmart, Set It Up)!” As of now nothing else including the title, storyline or crew has been revealed but this as a whole is a big one for fans to drool over.
What makes this opportunity even more intriguing is her entry into a genre of Hollywood that has been historically been dominated by prominent actors from the industry.
Fans taking to social media have commented their views on this project. One wrote, “What will be disappointing is if this romantic comedy is not a k-drama." While another added, “Netflix really said let’s mix k pop star power with comfort movie nostalgia this is either cinema or the most streamed comfort watch of the year, no in between."
The anticipation keeps rising with every passing moment. And all we can hope for now is a truly legendary film, one that blends classic romance with a hint of K-pop magic and if that happens, cinema inevitably wins!
