What annoys me even more than the lack of quality in both book and movie is that they spent so much money on the marketing and still FAILED at it! If they had released the book first as a regular fun spy thriller, and then based the movie on the author of the book and the adventures she gets into BECAUSE she wrote the book it would have been so much more interesting. That way it’d blur the line between fiction and reality, the book Argyle would exist both irl and in the movie, and it’d be so damn easy to have a fake social media account as the author making posts about where she got the inspiration, they could even have left little clues in those posts. Imagine a person appearing in the background in several of the author’s selfies, and they turn out to be one of the ”real” spies in the movie. I genuinly don’t understand why they went about it in the way they did. Such a wasted potential.

I’m guessing that they didn’t plan for the film to be a big deal. It was probably expected to just be a standard Apple TV release and once the film started getting some hype they started to try to milk it. Honestly, your idea sounds good in theory, but the issue is that the movie would largely be based on the book being a success. If the book failed (which there is a very good chance it would), then it most likely would have resulted in the studios dialing down on marketing instead of hyping it up. The other option would be to market the book heavily and announce it was already getting a movie adaptation, to drum up hype, then people would find out it’s a marketing stunt early on. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter what they chose to do. This all started with a pitch for a movie, and that movie wasn’t good.

Conspiracy Theory: The "book" was just marketing for the movie, especially given the plot of the movie being about the author of the book, but then they leaned into the publicity stunt a little too hard, people started to actually demand the book in droves, and they had to drum up some ghostwriters to slap it together to appease people, which is why it kept getting delayed and there's clearly no actual Elly.

Yep I went to berklee college of music and so many of my friends make huge amounts of money as ghostwriters for music, books, poetry etc. It is just WILD how some people steal or buy things like that and feel entitled to pretend they did it. I would never feel ok doing that because I want high self-esteem so I do the work to grow. I think it is dumb to pretend I did the work and never actually grow stronger, wiser or more talented. I would feel like a fraud! But instead I feel proud I worked hard to evolve and continue to do that work as a way of life. Learning can be a way of life, it doesn’t have to stop at school! I have learned far more out of school than in school personally. Now I bet people will get Ai to write things for them and use their money to put it out. Or it was a rich kid that got help from their parents that is behind this….. Personally I think Taylor would write a better movie and book considering how good her songwriting is I don’t think she is capable of this. I bet it’s more likely to be some rich British kid or adult that is mentally a child………they have the IQ of Ai 😂

One rule of thumb about movies: if it’s released in February it’s because it’s not expected to do any money but the studio is trying for a time of year when there’s not much competition at the box office and hope for the best.

Like how Disney and other animated studios always try to release an animated movie in either late Oktober or early December at the worst, to coincide with the Christmas shopping season for kids toys.

For anyone who would like to see a movie with a similar premise but done better, I recommend The Lost City. It stars Sandra Bullock as a successful adventure romance novelist and Channing Tatum as the himbo who stars as the cover model for her books. Sandra Bullock’s character has a background in anthropology or something like that so she’s very knowledgeable about this specific culture and that knowledge shows up in her books. This crazy billionaire played by Daniel Radcliffe is looking for this lost artifact on one of the islands from this culture and he kidnaps Sandra Bullock’s character because she’s the only one who can figure out how to find it. And Channing Tatum’s character, who is in love with her, goes after them to save her. It’s really funny and cute and the cast is stacked!

This hit me with sudden faint memory of Nikki Heat/Heat wave book I've read years ago. Only reason I picked the book up was because I was a fan of Castle tv-series. I'm pretty sure it was published after tv-series was rolled out, remember it being pretty simple in terms of plot story. Entertaining in the same way that reality tv is occasionally entertaining, doesn't require using your brain much.

Tammy Cohen wasn't born in Britain, she's from Ibadan, Nigeria, she went to school in Sierra Leone and California. She then studied at Manchester University before settling in London.

She is British though. "I was born in Ibadan, Nigeria where my anthropologist father happened to be doing fieldwork at the time. Sabbatical years in far-flung places were a feature of my childhood and I attended school in both Sierra Leone and California. Otherwise, I mostly grew up in the suburbs of London where my adolescence was spent either in the local library or waiting for the last tube home." So, it sounds like her parent(s) were British & because of her father's work she happened to be born in another country & would spend occasional, temporary periods of time in various countries while living in the UK between those periods.

Several British friends have told me that everyone in the UK is basically fluent in American English due to the ubiquity of American media/pop culture. I’m sure British people are generally more familiar with AE than we are BE, but they’re overstating how much passive media consumption can teach someone about the subtleties of a foreign dialect. Writers still need to do their homework, starting with the word “gotten.” 😂

I saw the trailer and was excited at the idea of another Kingsman style fun spy film, so this makes me quite disappointed. The British English terms really confuse me. I've never heard of bin men called "waste hauliers" and I've only ever heard km used for people discussing running distances, not for driving or other travel. At first I wondered if it was just a British setting on spellcheck, but that doesnt explain the "dicking about" and "a spot of" etc.

The twist being spoiled in the (extremely) early promotional material reminds me of how, in the original Stevenson novella, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde being the same person was supposed to be an eleventh hour twist, and now because of popular culture no one can really read the novella as it was originally meant to be read, because nowadays it's known by most as "that one story where a guy is actually two people". I know the situations aren't comparable 1-to-1, but there's something in there, about the fame and industry machine actually being capable of jeopardizing a piece of art via reckless exposure.
