Things always seem to go wrong with onscreen trios in the cinematic universe, and that's what Logan Lerman's upcoming romcom is about.
Directed by Chad Hartigan with a screenplay by Ethan Ogilby, the film is titled The Threesome and has a similar concept to those cinematic threesomes. The film is led by the internet's very own Percy Jackson, Logan Lerman.
The actor is not only known for these film adaptations but also for his unbashed charm that defined an era in Young Adults cinema.
Cast of The Threesome: Logan Lerman and more
The Threesome, a brand new romcom on the horizon, is said to be a "high-concept, character-driven comedy just like Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up."
The film follows a young man whose crush on a woman leads to an impulsive decision to participate in a threesome, which seems like a dream come true. What follows this decision is everything that The Threesome is all about.
According to Deadline, the synopsis for the film reads:
"When a young man’s perennial crush leads him into an unexpected threesome, he thinks it’s his ultimate fantasy come true. But when the fantasy ends, all three are left with sobering real-world consequences, forcing them to take responsibility for their actions—even if it means compromising the lives they’ve always envisioned."
Leading the film will be Logan Lerman and Bridgerton's star Phoebe Dyvenor. As the Netflix series is romance-focused, Dynevor's involvement in The Threesome will work well. Her upcoming projects also include Fair Play and The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne, as well as an Amazon limited series titled Exciting Times.
As for Logan Lerman, he has gained popularity from films like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Hoot. Lerman is also known for his roles in movies like The Number 23, 3:10 to Yuma, Hunters, Bullet Train, Indignation and Fury.
Thanks to his role in films like Stuck In Love, Lerman is definitely a great fit for a film like this.
