2021 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Augustine Frizzell’s The Last Letter From Your Lover

Published on November 19, 2020

Filmmaker/actress Augustine Frizzell‘s sophomore feature could have perhaps preemed in 2020, but it looks like 2021 was perhaps a better bet. A Netflix project based on Jojo Moyes’ best-selling novel, The Last Letter From Your Lover might preem in the same lieu Never Goin’ Back did back in 2018 – just in an altogether different program section. The set in the 1960’s project features the likes of Shailene Woodley, Felicity Jones and Callum Turner and went into production in October 2019 in Mallorca and London.

Gist: Felicity Jones stars as a journalist in contemporary London who uncovers a series of love letters which recount a star-crossed love affair from the 1960s and she becomes obsessed with tracking them down to find out how their story ended.

Production Co./Producers: Graham Broadbent, Peter Czernin, Stephen Traynor, Simone Urdl and Jennifer Weiss.

Prediction: PREMIERES

U.S. Distributor: Netflix.
