โBabygirlโ writer/director Halina Reijn is continuing to expand the cast for her next film with A24, this time adding a BAFTA winner into the mix.
David Jonsson, who won the BAFTA Rising Star award in 2025 for his breakout turns in โRye Laneโ and โAlien: Romulus,โ has joined โPlease,โ which reunites Reijn with A24 for a third time.
Jonsson joins the already announced Gracie Abrams, the Grammy-nominee making her acting debut, plus โHeated Rivalryโ star Connor Storrie and Jonssonโs fellow British actor Tom Burke.
Plot details for โPleaseโ are currently being kept under wraps, but like her satirical slasher โBodies Bodies Bodiesโ and erotic thriller โBabygirl,โ which became one of A24โs most successful titles earning $64 million globally, Reijn is again set to write and direct.
David Hinojosa will produce, re-teaming with Reijn for the third time. Reijn is producing through her MAN UP Film banner, with A24 also producing and financing. Zach Nutman will executive produce.
โPleaseโ marks the next step in a growing library for the increasingly in-demand Jonsson. Last year he earned praise for dystopian survival thriller โThe Long Walk,โ based on the Stephen King novel, and fronted the well-received Brit indie prison thriller โWastemanโ alongside Tom Blyth, which bowed in Toronto. He also exec produced โWastemanโ alongside Sophie Glibber, with whom he set up the production company greyarea.
Upcoming projects for Jonsson include Colman Domingoโs directorial debut โScandalous,โ playing Sammy Davis Jnr opposite Sydney Sweeney as Kim Novak. Heโs also reuniting with his โThe Long Walkโ co-star Cooper Hoffman in Plan Bโs โChaperonesโ from India Donaldson, and will star in a lead role in Frank Oceanโs as-yet-untitled debut feature.
Jonsson is represented by United Agents, CAA, and Granderson Des Rochers.
