On April 2nd, Alana Haim is stepping way out of her comfort zone in her new film, The Drama, directed by Kristoffer Borgley, of Dream Scenario fame. The singer-turned actress, who kicked off her screen career with licorice pizza back in 2021, plays Rachel, a super blunt and mean maid, of honor. She's nothing like Haim's real sweet self, which made the role a total thrill for her. The dark comedy stars Dindaya, as the bride Emma, Robert Pattinson, as her fiance Charlie, and Mamoudu Athe as Rachel's husband Michael, who's Charlie's best friend. Things kick off during a boozy wedding cake, tasting where Rachel pushes Emma to spill her darkest secret. That confession blows up the vibe, and nearly tanks the engagement with Rachel freaking out the most. Haim told Entertainment Weekly she loved unleashing that side, screaming at Zindaya on set then apologizing right after every take. Athe, her on-screen hubby, jokes she's always been kind, but can flip a swish to disturb the whole room. Like a pro actor should. He even defends Rachel a little bit, saying she's not all bad.
Haim landed the gig after going solo, to see Borgley's dream scenario first time without her haim sisters. Feeling like a seventh grader at the after party, she met the director, clicked instantly, and got the part that led her tap into raw anger she'd. Never channeled before. The drama drops in theaters this Friday, so grab a ticket and see if Rachel's the villain or just real. It'll stir up talks for sure. That's your update from Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
