I Watched My Fault: London, And I Can't Get Over How It's Fast And Furious Meets Gossip Girl
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When you think about the Fast & Furious movies, I'd be willing to bet money you've never thought about Gossip Girl at the same time. Even though I'm a massive fan of both, I know I haven't. However, that all changed when I watched the English-language remake of Prime Video's Culpa Mia, My Fault: London, because it's legitimately a wonderfully chaotic mix of the Vin Diesel-led fast car franchise and the edgy, soapy series. Now, before you click away because of that wild comparison, hear me out because I promise this makes sense. My Fault: London, which recently premiered on the 2025 movie schedule for those with an Amazon Prime subscription, is a dramatic, edgy, steamy romance that is centered around the world of really fast cars. Are you starting to pick up what I'm putting down? Well, if you're not, here's a more in-depth explanation about why the action romance film My Fault: London is, in fact, what you get when you mix Fast & Furious with Gossip Girl. I can't believe I'm writing this, but My Fault: London has big Fast & Furious vibes. Don't Sleep On My Fault: London Fans Are All Over Netflix's New Rom-Com La Dolce Villa, But Don't Sleep On Amazon's Popular Valentine's Weekend Release The film is a romance about two step-siblings (more on that later) who fall for each other while they navigate the violent and dramatic world of underground car racing. Both Noah and Nick are accomplished drivers, and they bond over their love for cars, so that is giving F&F. However, it's the big (and occasionally absurd) action that really made this comparison click. Between the big action set piece at the end and the honestly epic races throughout the film, I was having flashbacks to the first time I watched The Fast & The Furious. And I say that as a compliment. So, yeah, that's where the Fast & Furious energy comes from. Now, onto the XOXO of it all. My Fault: London features two major elements that give Gossip Girl, and one of them I despise while the other I adore. Let's start with the bad. I'm sorry, but why is this romance centered around step-siblings? While I adore Gossip Girl, and I think its hype is warranted, it featured a dismal plotline like this. As you likely remember, Dan and Serena were a key couple on the show. However, their parents, Rufus and Lily, were, too. Obviously, that caused drama because it's frowned upon for kids to date while their parents are also dating. Well, My Fault: London takes that terrible trope a step further. Noah and Nick's parents are engaged when they meet, and then the kids fall in love. And I have to say, that's not a good look. It wasn't on Gossip Girl, and it still isn't now. However, like Gossip Girl, I can overlook this plot point in My Fault: London. That's because the absolutely electric chemistry between the film's two leads and the steamy romance is irresistible. I'm not kidding; Matthew Broome and Asha Banks' chemistry as Nick and Noah is off the charts! While the way they got together is not great, I believe in their feelings for each other. Do you know who that reminds me of? Chuck and Blair. They are an honestly toxic couple, but I can't deny their chemistry, and it's romances like theirs that kept me invested in Gossip Girl. That's what kept me in My Fault: London too, and like with Gossip Girl, even though it made me cringe at times, the electric romance made up for it. Now, speaking holistically about all three properties here, I also think they're just genuinely fun times. If you are looking to be entertained and thrilled by some bonkers and high drama and/or action, go stream Gossip Girl with a Max subscription or some of the Fast & Furious films with a Peacock subscription. And if you want the best of both worlds, watch My Fault: London on Prime Video.

Favourite 'My Fault: London' scene for stars, directors might surprise you: 'Someone's on Noah's side'
My Fault: London, on Prime Video, starring Asha Banks, Matthew Broome, Enva Lewis, Jason Flemyng, Kerim Hassan and Sam Buchanan has fast cars, fights and forbidden romance. But with all the drama, it's actually a smaller, more heartfelt and intimate moment that's a favourite for the movie's directors and stars. The cast of the film, and directors Charlotte Fassler and Dani Girdwood, spoke to Yahoo Canada about the one moment that stands out in My Fault: London. A scene shared with Banks' Noah and Lewis' character Jenna. Who the hell is living in my house? Nick, what is going on with you? I just missed out of trouble. Am I in trouble. There's something about this where, you know, despite all the kind of tension and by like the severity of stuff that's going on, like literally life or death situations going on. Um, there still is like room for so much fun between, you know, Nick and Noa or between, you know, their friends and having all this. How important was it for you to still kind of give people that kind of like warm and fuzzy feeling in some moments of the film? Yeah, I think that was really important for us. Like, honestly, we wish we had even more levity to bring into it because it's those moments are so fun of watching them together and And you know, when we're sitting there in the edit and looking at everything we're like, God, they have such amazing chemistry and those moments that feel really pure and feel really so much like them and you get to see their personalities were something that we really wanted to make sure the film felt anchored and that so you could really see the connection that they have, um, despite all of the external circumstances and drama that ensues. Yeah, as well as like allowing room for like the chemistry of friendship to bloom as well, you know, I think like one of my favorite scenes. In the film is when at the car meet we've watched Noah arrive in London. We've watched her struggle and kind of have this coldness from, you know, Nick. And then at the car meet when Jenna invites her to get into her car and have this like girl chat, it's one of my favorite scenes in the film because it just feels like. For the first time you're like she has a friend, like she's protected and like it's a safe space in this little, you know, kind of like wild little pimped out car like, you know, decorated car that that Jenna has. It's such a special moment and I feel like those wish fulfillment, you know, little leads to, you know. We all wish we could move here and immediately meet a friend. I know exactly, you know. Honestly, that's one of my favorite scenes in the film. Um, Ever Ever is just amazing. I love her so much and we had such a form such a wonderful friendship on this film that it was so lovely to just be able to act with her and like I think we're both quite similar to our characters in a lot of ways, so it really felt like in that scene especially it was like kind of different versions of ourselves just like chatting and like. Like you say, I think it's really important. It's the first moment in the film really where you feel that someone's on Noah's side and like they've got her back and she's finding a friend and yeah, it was it was really touching, I think being able to film that and just really nice and I think it makes for a nice moment in the film too. Me, me and Asher at that point, like, that was quite near the end of the shoot, so we'd already got to know each other really, really well, like we already had this relationship between ourselves. Um, so doing that felt really passive at the time, and then watching it, both of us said the same thing of like, that's such a lovely part like of the whole film, just us two kind of being us in that. Um, so it's really, really nice and it's really nice, I think for younger audiences to kind of have that really like honest straight up friendship represented in it. So yeah, it's, it's nice, it's really nice.

'My Fault: London' stars, directors on crafting English version of one of Prime Video's biggest hits: 'Filmmaking is about taste'
Starring Asha Banks, Matthew Broome, Enva Lewis, Jason Flemyng, Kerim Hassan and Sam Buchanan, the first book in Mercedes Ron's "The Cupables" trilogy has gotten an English on-screen adaptation with My Fault: London (now on Prime Video). The movie follows the 2023 release of the Spanish-language film, based on the same book, which quickly became the most-watched non-English language film in the streaming platform's history. The film's stars and directors, Charlotte Fassler and Dani Girdwood, spoke to Yahoo Canada about creating this movie after the success of the Spanish-language version. They also talked about the experience of working with two directors for this film. Everyone kept telling me that London would be a fresh start. But I had no idea. This is interesting because it's, you know, from a book that people really love, then we have the Spanish language movie, now it's this, um, did you feel that pressure to make sure that it still felt like fresh and you were bringing something kind of new to an audience that may come in with some expectations of what this is supposed to look like? Yeah, completely. I think that it was kind of daunting to um come into it, you know, with filling um. We're stepping into big shoes. Um, so it was, yeah, it was exciting, but it was a bit scary to come into it. But I mean, what a blessing to have such a passionate fan base like that already exists that are kind of intrigued by what we're going to bring to it. So I think it was really important for us to, um, bring a new life to it and and see what we could change and make different and it being in London was a massive part of that. Um, but it was exciting overall. Matt for you for your hair, there's something interesting where I think um. It, you can feel like it takes a lot for him to necessarily like open up or be vulnerable. Like, he very much has this facade and like, he fights and he drives fast cars and like a lot of this is the kind of, I think you can tell to to kind of compensate for some of those emotions. Um, is it interesting to play a character where, you know, he does have all of these different outlets, but I think deep down inside, it's kind of, we get to see him slowly kind of unpeel that onion and open up to to Ash's character, particularly. Did you get a You, you, you can judge, you can was it don't judge a book by its cover. He does all these things and you can judge it. That's right, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, OK, good. Um, but then as an actor, you get to, you get to, like you said, peel all the layers down and get to what's at the center, and I think um. That's the most interesting part, I think, and then also then how he uh navigates that and expresses that or like deals with it um. Jason, I'd love to start with you because your character's not necessarily winning like Father of the Year award anytime soon here. Um, but when he comes into the story, he has this kind of like presence throughout, but when we finally see him, it gets quite intense. Anything that particularly appealed to you about just the kind of extreme nature of just his entry into the story. I think um. I think that villainy has so many different shades, and over, you know, 160 movies playing villains. Um, I've kind of tested most of those shades. But the shade that is, um, the betrayal and possible murder of your kin is an interesting one. So I was really, really. Up for that because I, I could find no empathy and could find no part of my own life that could inform those decisions I was making, because, you know, I've got twin boys who I adore and who I cut my hands off, you know, if, if necessary. Um, so yeah, that was really interesting cos that's a dark, dark place to be, um, and you know it comes through addiction and through. All sorts of reasons that he gets into that place, but wow, that's, that's something else. Same for you, for your character kind of going off of that. I think, you know, at one point you're just kind of thinking he has like other motivations. He's not necessarily like super. Particularly interested in what happens with Noah. You're, you're spot on, like it it, for, for Ronnie, it's not about Norah at all, she's collateral, like it's all about his kind of vendetta and what he has against Nick, which clearly when we meet them has been an ongoing thing for the, from before anyway. um, so yeah, for me there was a lot of playing with, um, you know, that. Quite toxically masculine trait of not feeling good enough, like he's, he's, he's better looking, he's, he's more successful, he's wealthier, he's got all these things that I've just been in prison, like there's that real kind of hatred for that person which is and and Noah Blesser just gets caught up in the middle of that. I'd love to know just a little bit about both of you working together and collaborating on your work broadly, you know, what's kind of the particular pleasure of having you both have each other to bounce ideas off of and to really collaborate for projects like, like this and others. Oh my gosh, it's so much more fun. You know, I mean, we started our careers together, um, and, you know, we're collaborative, I think, both of us down to our very core and so being able to be on this journey together is so much fun being, you know, Having a shared brain in many ways, you know, we, we often say we're quite ambidextrous. Like it's not like one of us is more comfortable doing something than the other. In many ways it's like, you know, just being able to kind of have that shared instinct and, um, and I don't know, directors left and right brain, but you know, we talk out loud. I really like working for two directors at the same time. I, I, I've done it with the Hughes Brothers and a couple of other times that I've worked with two directors because you always think, oh that's never gonna work, you know, how's that gonna work? And it's not as simple as saying. Which it was the case with the Hughes brothers where one will be technical and one will work the actors. But with Danny and Charlotte it's really amazing because they they actually swap, there's no, they're very fluid about about the notes, and yet they, they basically have a very similar taste. They've got the same taste. They're brilliant. And that's what the key is. Filmmaking is about taste. You know, Matt Vaughan has amazing taste, and he knows what's, he knows instinctively what's right and what's wrong. And that I think they both have that, and they both have the same taste and it works really well. They're kind of like two sides of the same mind, like they, they, they, they both know exactly what the other one needs and wants, but also like have their own individual ideas. So you're getting like two brilliant. Perspectives, which, which is great cos there's no tunnel vision and also immensely collaborative, the amount of times that we would just want to change things just to try a different one, and they were always like, yes, great idea, try that, doesn't work, it doesn't matter. So we felt really free in that, didn't we? I think at first all of us were quite intimidated by having two directors cause it can go really one way or really the other way, they're constantly butting heads and you have like this mash up crazy film, or you could have something like this where these two people work in such beautiful unison together that. Each of them bounces off of the other and like, like if Danny ever struggled with something, Char was there to pick her up and like likewise vice versa, like both of them just really come in for each other constantly and for us it was like we had two people who were wholly there for us and wholly there for this film to call on constantly. So I, I, I think that the clear indicator was we played charades on our first week and Danny and Shar got each other's answers like that and I was like, OK, these, these, these two know each other through and through, and I think like that it was like one hive brain. Do you know what I mean? So it just, it was, it was joy, we always had somewhere to turn.

Inside Amazon Prime Video's Sports-Heavy Upfront Ad Pitch: Top Sales Exec Danielle Carney Says NBA Debut Highlights 'Pivotal Year'
As much of ad sales milestone as 2024 was for Amazon's Prime Video, 2025 figures to be even bigger thanks to the addition of NBA and WNBA games to the slate. 'This is a pivotal year for us,' Danielle Carney, Amazon's Head of US Video and Live Sports Sales, told Deadline in an interview. 'We are transitioning from a single-sport upfront to a multi-sport upfront, so our conversations this year will not be focused on just one sport.' More from Deadline 'Bridgerton' Star Simone Ashley And 'After' Star Hero Fiennes Tiffin Reconnect Through A Camera Lens In 'Picture This' Trailer 'My Fault: London' Directing Duo Look To Build On The Success Of 'Culpa Mía' With Their English-Language Version Of The Hit Romantic Drama Walton Goggins Gives 'Fallout' Season 2 Update: "Blows It Out Of The Water" Last year, which was the third of an 11-year exclusive deal with the NFL for Thursday Night Football, Prime Video also began putting ads on films and series for the first time. The tech giant hosted its first upfront presentation for advertisers, a splashy affair in New York last spring. With ratings momentum building for the NFL and more traction for originals, the company exceeded its internal projection of $1.8 billion in upfront ad revenue. (It doesn't break out full-year video ad totals.) The arrival of the NBA and WNBA this fall as an 11-year deal tips off will give Prime multiple nights of sports during the fall, plus top-tier live games in most of a given calendar year. In May and June, the platform will also carry five straight NASCAR Cup races. It also has rights to several dozen New York Yankees baseball games. Carney said discussions with advertisers about the NBA have been very active, especially because the deal includes a studio show with enhanced sponsorship opportunities compared with the NFL. On Thursday nights, the streamer hosts a show from whatever stadium is hosting the game. Of course, advertisers have wanted in on the top draw in live TV, but when the NBA studio show is locked, the prominence of brands will be more controllable and consistent. TNT's gold-standard studio show, Inside the NBA, which is headed to ESPN in a licensing deal as Warner Bros. Discovery begins a new chapter without the NBA, heavily features Kia and other brands over the course of the 8-month season. 'Thursday Night Football was a bit of a wait-and-see situation because we had never done live sports at that scale before and we needed to secure the broadcast first before we leaned into the advertising aspect,' Carney said. Having proven itself with reliable technology and improving innovations on the production, product and ad-tech fronts, Prime Video has been able to hit the ground running since last summer's news that Amazon had become the third rightsholder along with incumbent ESPN and returning partner NBCUniversal. Carney said her teams are 'close to moving' toward closing major deals for the studio show, but 'these types of commitments take a little longer to finalize.' With scripted series like Fallout, Reacher and The Lord of the Rings matched with popular films like You're Cordially Invited and Red One, Carney said cross-pollination is becoming more frequent between live sports and entertainment. 'It's happening in both directions, where interest goes from entertainment to sports and then the other way,' she said. The 40 new TNF advertisers last season represent buyers who could potentially be upsold to NBA games or shown opportunities with other programming, she said. Unlike the NFL, she added, 'having the NBA puts us in a really unique position in terms of owning a property globally,' putting advertisers like Emirates Air in play. In a sit-down at NATPE in Miami last week, Prime Video international programming chief Kelly Day discussed the mosaic of local and tentpole programming and how it intersects with live sports. Although sports is an 'irreplaceable' part of the lineup, she pushed back on perceptions it is taking away from budgets for other kinds of programming. A recent SEC filing from the company suggests as much, indicating that total 2024 spending on TV, movies and music increased 14% over 2023 levels, reaching $18.9 billion. Technology, of course, is another key weapon in the Prime arsenal, Carney said. Interactive video ads, for example, have 'no better place' to reap rewards for brands than on Prime Video. As it has stepped up its activities across video programming and advertising over the past few years, she said, it has been an increasing priority to help advertisers tap into Amazon's deep well of first-party data.
