When will Lonely Planet be released on Netflix?
Lonely Planet will be available to watch on Netflix on October 11, 2024.
âA reclusive novelist arrives at a prestigious writerâs retreat in Morocco, hoping the remote setting will unlock her writerâs block,â the logline for the movie reads. âWhile there, she meets a young man â what starts as an acquaintanceship evolves into an intoxicating, life-altering love affair.â
Along with Dern and Hemsworth, the film stars Diana Silvers, Younès Boucif, Adriano Giannini, and Rachida Brakni.
âWhat drew me to the story was the exploration of identity and self-worth within relationships, especially in a world as intellectually charged as the literary scene,â Dern said of the movie, via Netflixâs Tudum. âThe dynamic between the younger man and the older, established writer intrigued me because itâs not just about romance â itâs about finding someone who truly sees and understands you, which is something deeply human and relatable.â
Lonely Planet is Grantâs second time directing a feature film following 2006âs Catch and Release. She also co-created and served as a showrunner on Netflixâs Unbelievable, which was released in 2019 and stars Toni Collette, Merritt Wever, and Kaitlyn Dever.
Additionally, Grant is credited as a writer on 1995âs Pocahontas, 2000âs 28 Days, 2000âs Erin Brockovich (which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay), 2005âs In Her Shoes, 2006âs Charlotteâs Web, 2009âs The Soloist, and 2016âs The 5th Wave.
Grant produces the new Netflix movie alongside Liza Chasin and Sarah Timberman. Brendan Ferguson, Corinne Weber, and Margaret Chernin serve as executive producers.
