Here is a debut novel. This is Argylle, a new spy thriller written by Elly Conway, now a motion picture starring lots of pretty people. The film is about a struggling writer who inadvertently exposes an international conspiracy in the plot of her book and the shenanigans that follow. The film stars Henry Cavill as . . . Argylle, and Bryce Dallas Howard plays . . . Elly Conway.
Wait a minute. If Howard plays a character named “Elly Conway,” and this book is by “Elly Conway,” then . . .
Argylle film director Matthew Vaughn explains it all for us in a recent interview. He says the plot of the film is the fourth book in the series, which makes it all . . . less confusing?
Thankfully, John Cena is in the film, and according to the trailer, he’s playing the role of the “confused consumer who isn’t sure what’s going on, but hey, the ride looks fun!”
