Love is an antidote to all of the hate,” say Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman, who headline Prime Video’s The Love Speculation. Based mostly on Ali Hazelwood’s 2021 bestselling romance novel, the movie follows Stanford PhD pupil Olive Smith and notoriously strict professor Dr Adam Carlsen as their fake-dating association turns actual.

Regardless of its acquainted trope, Bateman, sporting a Notting Hill (1999) T-shirt, believes such tales needs to be instructed repeatedly. “Whether or not you could find something unique [or not], there’s something particular about this story. There are solely seven tales, and we frequently inform those self same seven tales over and over. I’ve seen so many romantic comedies, actually, I’m sporting one. However what spoke to me about this one was the honesty the 2 characters, who’re completely different from one another, had. They see the world in a different way. It’s a narrative about them by chance falling for one another. [In life], all of us need the identical factor, love, security, safety, and peace. We simply come about it from a distinct perspective,” says the actor.
