Lola Tung to Star in A24 Film ‘Please,’ Halina Reijn Directing

A24 has added Lola Tung to the cast of its upcoming film Please, directed by Halina Reijn, according to an exclusive report published Tuesday by Deadline. The casting announcement confirms Tung’s involvement, but keeps her role and the film’s specific storyline under wraps, along with details about the characters played by several other cast members.

Deadline reports that Please will reunite Tung with a team anchored by Reijn, the filmmaker behind Babygirl and Bodies Bodies Bodies. A24’s Please is positioned as the studio’s next major feature project under Reijn’s direction, with casting continuing to expand while key creative specifics remain confidential.

Tung is joining other actors who were previously announced for the same film, including Gracie Abrams, Tom Burke, Connor Storrie, and David Jonsson. Deadline did not outline how the characters connect or which part of the cast corresponds to which narrative thread, and no character names or plot summaries were included in the reporting.

For Tung, the move follows her work on Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty, a series in which she played a central role across multiple seasons. The Deadline report highlights that her new film role in Please is being kept private at this stage, meaning audiences will likely learn more only after additional casting, marketing, or production updates are released.

The production also underscores how casting announcements in major studio and independent-distribution pipelines often precede full disclosure of story elements. Deadline notes that the secrecy is consistent across the ensemble, with the information released so far limited to who is involved rather than what happens in the film.

No release date, production start timeline, or distribution details were provided in the Deadline announcement. As a result, the practical next steps for fans and industry watchers are to monitor subsequent casting updates, official announcements from A24 and the production team, and any later releases of first-look material that typically accompany formal marketing rollouts.

Because the film’s plot and Tung’s character are not yet described publicly, the only confirmed takeaways from the current reporting are the studio, the director, the participating cast list to date, and the fact that the remaining details are expected to be announced later through the project’s official communications.
