Apple Martin, the daughter of Oscar winnerGwyneth Paltrowand Grammy winnerChris Martin, is set to make her acting debut. The 22-year-old has snagged a highly coveted spot in the cast ofNancy Meyers' long-awaited return to the big screen,Entertainment Weeklyhas confirmed.
The as-yet-untitled film, previously dubbedParis Paramount, will now feature Martin in an ensemble that also addedVeepstar Tony Hale andNational Lampoon's Vacationlegend Beverly D'Angelo.
The next film from the beloved American auteur will close the longest gap between any two features in her career. Prior to the Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway workplace dramedyThe Intern, Meyers had only taken six years between two directorial efforts. But it's been 11 sinceThe Internhit theaters.
In the intervening years, speculation has run rampant about her much hoped-for return to feature filmmaking. Meyers herselfcleared up some of the scuttlebuttin 2023, by sharing a quote from Ernst Lubitsch, an icon of studio-era comedies.
"There's been a lot written about my new film. 😵💫 Here's one thing I can easily clear up — and that's the title — PARIS PARAMOUNT," she wrote on Instagram. "It's from a quote by the brilliant and elegant comedy director (dare I say creator of the romantic comedy) Ernst Lubitsch. The movie is about a group of people making a film and the magic and mystery of what we do. As always, Lubitsch said it best."
The sardonic quotation reads as follows: "I've been to Paris, France and I've been to Paris, Paramount and frankly, I prefer Paris, Paramount."
