Yes, ‘The Love Hypothesis’ Was Based on a ‘Star Wars’ Fanfic — Here’s What That Was About
And yes, director Claire Scanlon made sure to leave some very intentional "Star Wars" easter eggs for viewers The post Yes, ‘The Love Hypothesis’ Was Based on a ‘Star Wars’ Fanfic — Here’s What That Was About appeared first on TheWrap .
The film "The Love Hypothesis" is based on a "Star Wars" fanfiction called "Head Over Feet." The story follows Kylo Ren and Rey, a relationship which fans dubbed "Reylo," as they begin fake dating. The fanfiction was adapted into the film starring Lili Reinhart as Olive, a Ph.D. student working to cure pancreatic cancer, who creates a boyfriend to encourage her best friend Anh, played by Rachel Marsh, to pursue Jeremy, played by Nicholas Duvernay, who also has feelings for Anh.
This connection is not a coincidence, as Tom Bateman, who plays Adam Carlsen, is married to Daisy Ridley, who played Rey in the "Star Wars" sequel films. However, producer Elizabeth Cantillon and director Nina Scanlon emphasized that casting Bateman was not influenced by this fact, but rather by his exceptional acting skills and ability to convey the character's vulnerability.
The film also includes subtle references to the "Star Wars" universe, such as scenes where Adam storms down a hallway dressed in all black, accompanied by a score reminiscent of "Star Wars" music.
