Who is the author of Argylle?
When the project was first announced, it was described as a film adaptation of a novel written by an up-and-coming author named Elly Conway. New details about the movie have finally clarified the mysterious writer’s identity, revealing that she’s actually one of the characters in Argylle. It has been confirmed that Howard will be portraying the role of Elly Conway, a best-selling author who discovers that her popular spy stories have somehow began reflecting reality.
“In the film, Elly Conway is a reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie.” reads the synopsis. “But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past. Accompanied by Aiden (Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.”
In addition to Howard and Rockwell, Argylle also stars Henry Cavill (The Witcher, Justice League), John Cena (The Suicide Squad), Samuel L. Jackson (MCU films), Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World: Dominion), Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Oscar-winning actor Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Rob Delaney (Deadpool 2), and Grammy-winning singer Dua Lipa in her feature acting debut.
