February 12, 2025: Simone Ashley, best known for her role in Bridgerton, is set to star in the upcoming romantic comedy Picture This, which will be released on Prime Video on March 6, 2025. The trailer for the film, directed by Prarthana Mohan and written by Nikita Lalwani, has been released, teasing an exciting and heartwarming rom-com.
In Picture This, Simone plays the role of a struggling photographer who, after receiving a prediction about finding true love and career success in the next five dates she goes on, finds herself in a whirlwind of romantic misadventures. With her sister’s wedding approaching and her family playing matchmaker, her ex reappears, complicating both her love life and professional journey. The trailer shows Simone’s character as a determined independent woman, whose life takes unexpected turns as her friends set her up on romantic dates.
The movie also showcases the chemistry between Simone Ashley and Hero Fiennes Tiffin, which has already sparked anticipation among fans. Along with the leads, the film features a talented supporting cast, including Sindhu Vee, Luke Fetherston, Nikesh Patel, Adil Ray, Anoushka Chadha, and Phil Dunster.
In addition to Picture This, Simone Ashley has another highly anticipated project on the horizon: the Formula 1 racing film F1. Set to star alongside Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, the film is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who is known for Top Gun: Maverick. F1 will explore the story of Sonny Hayes, a former Formula 1 driver (played by Brad Pitt) who returns to the sport to mentor a rookie driver, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Simone’s role in F1 has been kept under wraps, but her involvement with such a star-studded cast, including Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Sarah Niles, has generated significant buzz. The film is unique as it is being shot during actual Grand Prix weekends, providing a truly immersive experience for fans.
Both projects highlight Simone Ashley’s versatile acting skills and are set to be major highlights in her career, making 2025 an exciting year for the rising star.
