The first image for the upcoming romantic heist movieMarmalade,starringStranger Things’Joe Keery,has been released. The image features Keery and his love interest, played byCamila Morrone. According toVariety,Marmalade’s production company Signature Entertainment released the image today ahead of its planned global sales slated to launch at Berlin’s European Film Market.
Marmaladeis a crime romance focused on the love story of Baron (Keery) and Marmalade (Morrone). Baron, recently imprisoned, strikes up a friendship with his cellmate Otis, played byBlack Adam’sAldis Hodge. Otis has a history of breaking out of prison and as the pair become close, they start to hatch an escape plan, which leads to Baron telling his cellmate how he met the love of his life and their scheme to rob a bank, which was presumably the plan that landed him behind bars in the first place.
In the image, the couple can be seen seated in a diner booth, embracing each other, probably after planning their Bonnie and Clyde scheme. It seems like it’s Baron’s love for Marmalade that lands him in prison, similar to how Keery’s character asStranger Things’Steve Harrington’s love for Nancy made himthe group’s designated babysitter. Keery recently appeared inFree GuywithRyan Reynolds, and will appear in the fifth installment of FX’sFargo. Morrone previously starred in Utopia’sMickey and the Bear,and will also appear in Amazon Studios’ upcoming seriesDaisy Jones & The Six.
