Richard LaGravenese's Netflix rom-com emA Family Affair/em (2024) stars Zac Efron, Joey King, and Nicole Kidman.
The Big Picture Coming down from the rom-com high of The Idea of You? If you’re on the hunt for your next guiltless pleasure, look no further. It’s been 10 years since director Richard Lagravenese helmed a production, but Netflix’s A Family Affair, a unique coming-of-all-ages take on the genre, was just the script to get him back on set.
Release Date June 28, 2024 Director Richard La Gravenese Cast Joey King , Nicole Kidman , Zac Efron , Kathy Bates , Liza Koshy , Sherry Cola , Gissette Valentin , Olivia Macklin Runtime 111 Minutes Main Genre Comedy Writers Carrie Solomon Expand This Hollywood CEO Inspired Joey King's Character PERRI NEMIROFF: One of the things I loved about the story was the emphasis on Zara being an underappreciated assistant.
LAGRAVENESE: Stacey Sher, who was the first person to read The Fisher King, and then she gave the script to Linda Obst and Deborah Hill. Those three women really gave me the confidence and started my career. I love the emphasis on a variety of coming-of-age experiences because I feel like everyone boxes it into, “Oh, it's a high school movie — it's a coming-of-age movie.” You come of age at so many stages!We literally all are, whether we're willing to admit it or not.
Nicole Kidman Was at the Heart of 'A Family Affair' I have to talk about the casting in this movie because I look at your three main roles here and I see actors who just so heavily defined those characters. When you first signed on, how did you picture those three characters, and when you found out who was going to play them, how did those characters change?
LAGRAVENESE: The one that keeps coming to mind is the scene in the car, because we shot that over and over and over from different angles, and Zac would come up with different things to say each time. The idea of him winning an improv contest when he was a kid, that's Zac, and he only said that once. His riffing off of Cher, the list of things he left at his girlfriend's apartment, a lot of that stuff would change. That's the one that comes to mind.
