Argylle: The Explosive Spy Thriller That Inspired the new Matthew Vaughn film starring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard

Product Information

Because the pacing is really high and so much is happening, you will want to read another chapter, and another, and another. One Russian magnate's dream of restoring a nation to greatness has set in motion a chain of events which will take the world to the brink of chaos.

While Conway is supposed to be from upstate New York, Argylle is laced with Britishisms, and Cohen is British. I love the idea that each book is numbered and limited, they're extra special because they're personalised with those sought-after signatures, and they are not on tip-in pages. With many literary agencies being recently swallowed up by giant entertainment conglomerates, this approach could become the norm. While written for the modern audience, this book embodies all the action and suspense I have been missing from those classic novels and films. His lawyer explained that the Peaky Blinders actor was trying to please fans by “slipping into character” when he was caught in possession of cocaine.Both Karen and Gizelle are attempting to control the narrative of the back half of the season but from entirely different perspectives. The Instagram account - The first post on Elly Conway's Instagram was shared on Taylor's birthday, December 13th. The cast and crew of Argylle are dedicated to preserving the mystery behind the true identity of author Elly Conway, even though some have knowledge of who it might be.

In addition, the Argylle novel is copyrighted to Marv Quinn Holdings Limited, a company registered to Vaughn and his wife. She’s written multiple midlist spy novels, like Argylle, most recently When She Was Bad (2016) and They All Fall Down (2017). The characters we actually get to know only have personalities that are skin deep and others are left to fade in the background completely. There was never much basis for the theory, though internet users did manage to round up a few coincidences, such as Conway's first Instagram post being published on Swift's birthday.Taylor got dragged into the conspiracy theory after the film's trailer and promotional material was released. Fairly sure it's just a marketing tactic for the movie, being 'written' by one of the characters and all. And I say that because I imagine Taylor Swift has a load of people trying to jump on her bandwagon left, right, and center, and I don’t want to be a part of that club.

Argylle premiered at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on January 24, 2024, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 2, 2024, by Universal Pictures and Apple Original Films, and on Apple TV+ at an undetermined date.The simple answer is that Conway is a first-time novelist whose upcoming spy thriller, Argylle, has already been adapted into a major motion picture with an all-star cast that includes Henry Cavill, Ariana DeBose, Bryan Cranston, Bryce Dallas Howard and Dua Lipa in her screen debut. If nothing else, the Elly Conway trick is a fitting maneuver for our age of endless Hollywood IP grabs. Either way I wanted to give it a read before seeing the movie and when it became available on my PRH audio app I dove in! The Cat - Named Alfie in the film, played by Claudia Schiffer's cat Chip in real life, the Scottish Fold is the exact same breed as Taylor's cats Meredith and Olivia.

If this is written by Taylor Swift as rumoured, it's her worst writing since the stuff titled album. To save us all from Morgenstern’s highbrow story-killing ways, Goldman concluded, he’d cut the whole thing down to size, and annotated the text helpfully whenever one of his cuts affected the plot. There IS a lot of Taylor Swift coded clues or "Easter eggs" which are hard to ignore, I would be more inclined to believe that Taylor Swift may be cast as the last character introduced in the book (will leave the name out so you can all see for yourselves the link). The audiobook was narrated by Dakota Blue Richards, who did a fine job but has a very young-sounding voice and seemed an odd choice for a male spy, or was she meant to be the author reading the story? The movie centers on an introverted novelist who is thrown into the real world of espionage after the plot of her most recent spy thriller parrels the crimes of an underground syndicate.

Swifties immediately clocked the similarities between the film's aesthetic and some of of Taylor's visuals. This isn't my personal preference for books and it takes a truly exceptional read for me to sink in and move past this.
