If you’ve already binged the entire second season of The Bear and are craving more Jeremy Allen White to fill the void, you’ll be happy to know that in addition to co-starring in the soon to be released Zac Effron’s, The Iron Claw, White is also starring in a new sci-fi love story titled Fingernails.
Fingernails is slated for a September 2023 release, premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival theaters and will premiere globally on Apple TV+, as well as in select theaters, on Friday, November 3, 2023.
Helmed by director Christos Nikou, Fingernails features a star-studded cast including Golden Globe Award-winner Jeremy Allen White (The Bear), Academy Award-nominee Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter), Academy Award-winner Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal), and Luke Wilson (The Goldfinch), Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek).
The story
Anna (Buckley) and Ryan (White) have found true love. It’s been proven by a controversial new technology (a test using a single fingernail from each partner to determine whether couples are a true match.) There’s just one problem: Anna still isn’t sure. Then she takes a position at a love-testing institute, and meets Amir (Ahmed).
Apple Original Films debuts a new trailer:
Fingernails is the second feature and first English-language film from visionary director/writer/producer Nikou, whose directorial debut was the highly regarded Greek film, Apples.
Fingernails is co-written by Nikou, Stavros Raptis and Sam Steiner. In addition to Nikou, Fingernails is produced by Cate Blanchett, Andrew Upton and Coco Francini for Dirty Films and Lucas Wiesendanger for FilmNation Entertainment. The film is executive produced by FilmNation Entertainment’s Glen Basner, Milan Popelka and Alison Cohen alongside Ashley Fox, Kevin Lafferty and Jerome Duboz.
