‘Hello & Paris’ Rom-Com at Amazon MGM Adds Rupert Penry-Jones, Trudie Styler and Five Others to Cast

Amazon MGM has expanded the cast for the rom-com Hello & Paris, currently in production under writer-director Elizabeth Chomko, The Hollywood Reporter reported on June 18.

The new additions announced by the publication are Rupert Penry-Jones, Trudie Styler, Amber Valletta, Bella Maclean, Eliot Sumner and Thaddea Graham, joining previously announced leads Kate Hudson and Javier Bardem.

Hello & Paris is being produced as an Amazon MGM feature, with the studio’s participation tied to the project’s casting updates and production scheduling. The report framed the six new cast assignments as an Amazon MGM exclusive.

Chomko, who is both writing and directing the film, is the creative lead identified in the report. Hello & Paris is described as a rom-com feature, placing it within a genre track that typically involves ensemble casting and cross-generational storylines.

Alongside the cast announcements, The Hollywood Reporter’s report emphasized that the film remains “currently in production,” indicating that filming activity is underway or has begun on the project.

No character names, plot specifics, or production dates beyond the fact of ongoing production were included in the summary details provided with the item, and those elements are not repeated here.

With casting still moving forward, the next publicly visible steps for the project are expected to include additional role assignments and further production announcements that may accompany principal photography and later post-production updates, while Amazon MGM and the filmmakers continue to build out the cast list.
