The well-known book Red, White, and Royal Blue will be turned into a movie by Amazon and Berlanti/Schechter Films. Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine will lead the cast.
Alex Claremont-Diaz (Perez), the Mexican-American son of the country’s newly elected president, is cast as the American version of a young royal right away in the romantic comedy.
The logline says, “His image is pure gold for marketing to millennials because he is handsome, charismatic, and smart. The only problem is that Alex has a long-running feud with Prince Henry, who is a royal figure on the other side of the pond (Galitzine). When the tabloids get a picture of the two of them fighting, things get worse between the U.S. and Britain.
Heads of family, state, and other handlers come up with a plan to stop the situation from getting worse: setting up a truce between the two rivals. What starts out as a fake friendship for Instagram ends up being more real and important than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon, Alex is swept up in a secret relationship with the surprisingly casual Henry, which could hurt his mother’s re-election campaign and turn two countries upside down.
