If you still don’t know who Nicholas Braun is, well, where the hell have you been? The 33-year-old actor, who stands at a ridiculous 6’7, has been in Hollywood since he was a teenager.
He went from Disney star to legit actor, most recently starring in the incredible HBO series, Succession. You can also catch him in the upcoming film Zola, which is set to be released on June 30.
But in the meantime, let’s talk about some breaking news regarding Braun. It’s being reported that he’s set to star alongside Emilia Jones in the psychological thriller, Cat Person.
If that title sounds familiar to you, it’s because it probably is. It was a super popular short story written by Kristen Roupenian and published by the New Yorker in 2017. It was their most downloaded piece of fiction that year.
Roupenian’s short story turns on the casual, but increasingly discomfiting, relationship between Margot, a 20-year-old college student, and Robert, a 34 man who goes to the movie theater where Margot works.
The flick will be directed by DGA Award-winning Susanna Fogel, and she’s excited to get to work on the project.
Using Kristen’s excruciatingly well-observed short story about the horrors of dating as the jumping off point for an actual genre film, ‘Cat Person’ will explore the hellscape of modern romance and the idea that we have all been the villain in someone else’s story, and the victim in others.
Can’t wait for this one.
