The beloved classic film The Princess Bride has been given an at-home makeover, with A-list couples and stars reenacting keys scenes in aid of charity.
The project has been shot remotely during lockdown using actors’ phones, and features makeshift costumes, homemade props – and a gender-swapped Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner playing Princess Buttercup and Westley respectively.
Vanity Fair has already released three sets of clips from the film (directed by Juno’s Jason Reitman) and they feature: Common and Tiffany Haddish; Hugh Jackman; and Jonas and Turner, who escape in character from the Rodent Of Unusual Size (ROUS) played by the couple’s pet corgi.
Other actors taking part in the project include Taika Waititi, Jennifer Garner, Jack Black, Josh Gad, Andy Serkis, Jon Hamm, Beanie Feldstein, David Oyelowo, and the couples Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, and Chris Pine and Annabelle Wallis.
The project is in aid of World Central Kitchen, and can be viewed now, chapter by chapter, on the streaming platform Quibi.
