Netflix is always looking for new ways to enhance its collection, and one of its many categories is romance flicks. A Tourist’s Guide to Love, starring Rachael Leigh Cook of She’s All That, has recently been commissioned by Netflix. Cook came up with the concept for the film, which will be her second Netflix production following Love Guaranteed (added to Netflix on September 3rd, 2020).
Cook has worked on several Netflix films in recent years. She previously appeared in and produced the film “Love, Guaranteed” on the streaming service. “Cross Country Christmas,” “A Blue Ridge Mountain Christmas,” and the three “In the Vineyard” films are among her other recent appearances. She is well-known for her performances in films such as “She’s All That,” “Josie and the Pussycats,” and “Final Fantasy” and “Star Wars: The Old Republic,” as well as her voice work in video games such as “Final Fantasy” and “Star Wars: The Old Republic.”
In the last year, Donohue has sold four films, including “A Sugar & Spice Holiday,” “A Christmas Spark,” and “Christmas Cheer.” She is now working on her autobiographical spec film “Time Out” alongside Lucy Liu, who is set to direct. She also wrote “Ladies Man: A Made Movie” for MTV and worked with Laurence Mark Productions to sell the movie proposal “Girls’ Night Out” to Lionsgate.
Cook will both produce and appear in the film. Jim Head of Head First Productions will also produce, with Muse Entertainment’s Joel S. Rice and Lydia Storie serving as executive producers.
