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

Product Information

If you want to improve your original movie’s changes, what’s a better bet than manufacturing your own IP for it out of whole cloth? 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. When I read this early draft manuscript I felt it was the most incredible and original spy franchise since Ian Fleming’s books of the ‘50s,” director Matthew Vaughn ( Kingsman franchise, X-Men: First Class) gushed when the project was announced in August 2021. Ryan, who is one of Taylor Swift's besties, has now become the subject of TikTok's latest Argylle conspiracy theory alongside Blake Lively.

One consultant on the film claimed someone named Tamar Cohen wrote the book, a name Cohen has published under, in addition to the pseudonym Rachel Rhys. As for Argylle the story, any author who can weave together a plot involving Nazis, the Amber Room, the Golden Triangle, Fontainebleau palace, Paris, Mt. I’m not a big internet guy, and it was actually my daughter who came up to me — this is the power of celebrity and the internet — and said, ‘You never told me Taylor wrote the book! Argylle is a moderately interesting central figure, but not remotely credible, and the rest of the characters are stereotypes. The claim was questioned by The Hollywood Reporter in September 2022, as they were unable to verify Conway's existence and their attempts to contact her, her publicist, and her talent agent were unsuccessful.The pace was slightly off for me, beginning half I found it was slow, and the latter half crammed in a lot!

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. Either way they are affiliated with the movie’s production company, which is doing a great job of promoting its spy thriller by whipping up intrigue around Elly Conway’s identity.Henry Cavill appeared to know the identity but refused to reveal anything per Vaughn's wishes, while Bryan Cranston played coy about what he knew, claiming he couldn't rule out the rumor that Taylor Swift wrote it. I do plan to see the movie at some point (maybe this will be a case of the film being better than the book? When the Matthew Vaughn-directed spy comedy was announced, viewers were perplexed when it claimed to be based on an unpublished book by debut author Conway. I am aware of the speculations surrounding the book, I don't think Taylor Swift is Elly Conway (as Elly is fictional and not a real person).

Each chapter had me hanging by a thread, including the ending, teasing clearly another book and film in the series.

In June 2023, it was announced that the film would be released in theaters on February 2, 2024, by Universal Pictures and Apple Original Films, before releasing on Apple TV+ at an undetermined date. Swifties immediately clocked the similarities between the film's aesthetic and some of of Taylor's visuals. She’s written multiple midlist spy novels, like Argylle, most recently When She Was Bad (2016) and They All Fall Down (2017).

and that feels spot on with a round up to 4 for that action packed ending that had me standing in my living room staring into space while I listened, completely enraptured! Something’s fishy,” an anonymous Hollywood producer who has worked with Vaughn told the New York Post in January. If nothing else, the Elly Conway trick is a fitting maneuver for our age of endless Hollywood IP grabs.

In October 2023, Vaughn confirmed plans to create additional movies, while stating that the second movie will be based on the first Argylle novel. The whole thing was so convincing that readers regularly walk away convinced that there is an unabridged Princess Bride out there, and that they can find it if they only work hard enough. This was one of the few fan theories that gained traction, primarily due to Swift's enormous star power.
