Taron Egerton is set to lead the cast of the razor-sharp, original comedy thriller ‘EVERYBODY WANTS TO F*CK ME,’ written and directed by Jonathan Schey (Ladhood). The film, set in London and exploring the chaotic world of modern dating, has been described as a wild and subversive take on the genre.
Joining Egerton is Jessica Henwick (Glass Onion, The Matrix Resurrections), whose casting was announced today. Production is scheduled to begin in London this November.
STUDIOCANAL will launch worldwide sales at the upcoming American Film Market (AFM), with plans for a theatrical release in their territories, including the UK & Ireland, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Benelux, and Poland.

Along with our partners at Film4, we can’t wait to bring this special project to cinema audiences around the world next year!”
