Patrick Schwarzenegger Starring With Phoebe Dynevor in Emily Henry's Beach Read Movie

The adaptation follows rival writers whose summer challenge turns creative tension into romance, with Yulin Kuang directing and Neal H. Moritz producing.

  • On Tuesday, Patrick Schwarzenegger confirmed he will star as Gus Everett opposite Phoebe Dynevor in 20th Century Studios' adaptation of Emily Henry's 2020 novel Beach Read.
  • Director Yulin Kuang selected Schwarzenegger after an extensive search process, noting that his chemistry reads with Dynevor 'blew me away in the room' during casting.
  • Expressing enthusiasm for joining the 'EmHen universe,' Schwarzenegger promised to 'make the fans happy & proud' and credited his wife, AbbyChampion, for her support.
  • While friends including Taylor Lautner offered public support, some fans expressed mixed reactions online, with users posting '#NotMyGusEverett' and questioning the casting choice.
  • This project joins a slate of adaptations of Henry's novels, including Funny Story, Book Lovers, and Happy Place, currently in various stages of development.
