Timothée Chalamet - you know, the twenty-two year old who can pull off every suit colour under the sun and was nominated for an Oscar for his first leading role - would be in danger of annoying us if he wasn't so damn charming.
The actor appears in Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name, two films with multiple Oscar nominations this season. His performances in both mean everyone will be watching his next move: playing Henry V in a new Netflix film.
The film is being produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B studio who are responsible for success stories such as Moonlight, 12 Years A Slave and The Big Short.
Deadline report that, "Chalamet will play the young Henry V. After his brother is killed in battle before his coronation, a young king is coronated in the late 1300s. The reluctant ruler wears the crown at a time when England was near a war with France, and the empire is teetering. He rises to the occasion, admirably."
They add that, "Plan B’s Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner will produce along with Joel Edgerton and David Michôd. Liz Watts, who produced the Michôd-directed Animal Kingdom and The Rover, are also producing."
Watch this space.
