Netflix today debuted first look photos from the upcoming rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle, starring Zoey Deutch (Nouvelle Vague, Not Okay) and Nick Robinson (Damsel, Maid). Written and directed by Leah McKendrick (Scrambled), Voicemails for Isabelle will premiere June 19 on the streaming platform.
The logline reads, “Jill copes with her sister’s death by leaving her voicemails chronicling her chaotic life in San Francisco. When the number is unknowingly reassigned, an elusive Austin real estate agent begins receiving the hilariously confessional messages”
Netflix describes the new flick as a “refreshing and reminiscent of cozy rom-com classics like You’ve Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle.”
Additional cast include McKendrick, Harry Shum Jr. (Grey’s Anatomy, Crazy Rich Asians), Lukas Gage (Companion, Smile 2), Ciara Bravo (Swiped, Cherry), Nick Offerman (Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Parks and Recreation), Megan Danso (Siren, The 100), Gil Bellows, (Patriot, Women of the Movement) Toby Sandeman (Running Point, Power Book III: Raising Kanan), and Spencer Lord (The Last of Us, Heartland).
Per Netflix, “Voicemails for Isabelle is a rare blend of humor, romance, and some more tender moments, with Isabelle’s tragic death as the film’s bittersweet catalyst for love. The movie is just as silly as it is sweet, as Robinson and Deutch’s characters’ core romance is offset by some comedy legends and buzzy new actors.”
“Voicemails cannot be edited or rewritten. They’re usually messy, awkward, inarticulate — sometimes confessional. Like a stream of consciousness, they always go a little off the rails,” writer-director Leah McKendrick tells Tudum.
