The rom-com drought is finally over! Not only did Glen Powell & Daisy Edgar-Jones' Twisters become the unexpected romantic hit of the summer, but we also learned Emily Bader & Tom Blyth will lead thePeople We Meet On Vacation movie AND we got a first look at Halle Berry & Mark Wahlberg's spy romance The Union.
But the cherry on top is that India Amarteifio (Queen Charlotte) and Damian Hardung (Maxton Hall) will lead a brand new coming-of-age romance that's as heartfelt as it is heartbreaking. Hollywood is giving us all the romantic movies right now, and TBH, I have never been happier.

Into The Deep Blue is a look at relationships, and how we can find strength despite deep losses and darkness. That's a lesson that has been more important than ever over the last few years, and I'm sure this movie is going to be another reminder of how precious and beautiful every single moment is. Here's everything you need to know about Into The Deep Blue.
Into The Deep Blue Plot
Nick (Damian Hardung) and Fiona (India Amarteifio) become best friends after meeting in group therapy. They've both experienced loss and are struggling to recover. According to a plot synopsis, “When a weekend trip brings their deepening feelings to the surface, they might sooner cut each other off than face them." That sounds like a relatable dilemma if I've ever heard one.
The script, from Jennifer Archer, won the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Nicholl Fellowship in 2022. Jonathan Wright will direct, while Shot of Tea's Aletha Shepherd and Jennifer Presser will produce.
“This film is such an amazing story of grief, friendship, and growth, and I couldn’t be more excited to be working with this amazing group of talent," Presser says (via The Hollywood Reporter). "We are thrilled to have India and Damian bring these complex characters to life. Their raw talent is something to behold and will elevate this film to the next level.”
