There really isn't a lot of new movies waiting for us this summer and those that are arriving will have a really strange way of coming to the audience - few days in the cinema and then straight to streaming, but LAST LETTER FROM YOUR LOVER will have an even stranger way - it will first hit Netflix next Friday, July 23rd and will then circle British cinemas in August. Go figure. We will certainly watch it as it comes from our favourite Studiocanal and stars our boo Callum Me Some Turner! The cast also includes Joe Alwyn, Nabhaan Rizwan, Felicity Jones and Shailene Woodley. Ben Cross, who died last year, gives his last role ever in this one.

Then, at one of her sister's parties, Daphne meets Frank (Sebastian Stan) and Jack (Jamie Dornan). Both are enormously attractive to her, albeit in very different ways: one is the free-spirited bad boy, unpredictable, and always ready for adventure; the other is sober, intelligent, sensitive, and invested in his career as an academic.
