The countdown forJoe KeeryandCamila Morrone’s upcoming romance heist movieMarmaladehas begun. The makers have unveiled a new set of images to give fans a peek into this grizzly, gritty world of the two toxic lovers. The film also marks the directorial debut of actor/screenwriterKeir O’Donnellwhose vision is quite intriguing, going by the images. The images paint a picture of a colorful, rose-tinted world of the two lovers as we see them smitten with each other, one image sees them romancing in a car, and another sees them praying together. However, their conundrums surface in images that showcase the characters individually, in one image Keery looks simply lost and vulnerable while another sees him withAldis Hodgein the prison. With all these intense moments, it’ll be fascinating to see the story unfold on the big screen.
The movie is billed as an “edge-of-the-seat crime-tinged romance tale.” It follows a recently incarcerated Baron (Keery), who recalls the story of how he met and fell in love with Marmalade (Morrone), the love of his life, and theirBonnie and Clyde-style scheme to rob a bank to give the couple a better life and care for his sick mother. However, things change when Baron ends up in jail where he strikes up a friendship with cellmate Otis (Hodge), a man with a well-known history of prison breaks.Together they plan to break out of this prison and reunite Baron with Marmalade.
What Else Have Keery and Morrone Starred in?
