Larson, Collins, Quaid and Golding unite for unexpected new comedy
Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid and Henry Golding will headline 'Close Personal Friends', a fresh comedy from Amazon MGM Studios set to begin filming in London this September. Directed by Jason Orley, best known for 'Big Time Adolescence' and frequent collaborations with Pete Davidson, the project promises a mix of celebrity satire and awkward humour. The film follows a couple on holiday in Santa Barbara who unexpectedly befriend a famous couple, leading to blurred boundaries, crossed personal lines and escalating comedic chaos. While much of the plot remains under wraps, the premise suggests a sharp, character-driven comedy centred on modern relationships and fame. Orley developed the concept with Isaac Aptaker, who later wrote the script. Aptaker is producing alongside his Walk-Up Company partner Elizabeth Berger, with Maximum Effort's Ashley Fox and Johnny Pariseau also attached. Orley serves as executive producer, reuniting with Aptaker and Berger after their 2022 romantic comedy 'I Want You Back'. Larson, an Academy Award winner for 'Room' and star of Marvel's 'Captain Marvel' films, recently earned multiple award nominations for her role in 'Lessons in Chemistry'. Quaid has appeared in action thrillers 'Novocaine' and 'Heads of State', while Collins continues to front Netflix's hit series 'Emily in Paris'. Golding, who rose to prominence in 'Crazy Rich Asians', is currently starring in Guy Ritchie's 'The Gentlemen' series for Netflix. Filming is set to bring together this eclectic ensemble under Orley's direction, with anticipation building for how the story's mix of romance, fame and comedic tension will play out on screen. Early industry chatter suggests the chemistry between the four leads could be one of the film's strongest draws, with Larson and Collins expected to anchor the dynamic. If the project delivers on its promise, 'Close Personal Friends' could be one of Amazon MGM's standout comedies of 2026, combining sharp writing, big-name talent and a premise ripe for awkward hilarity.
