Apple’s ‘Argylle’ flop debuts for buy or rent on March 5th
Apple Original Films announced action-comedy romance “Argylle” will be available on premium video-on-demand and for digital purchase beginning March 5th.
Apple Original Films announced today that its first bonafide flop, Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle,” will become available on premium video-on-demand and for digital purchase with leading digital retailers, in collaboration with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, beginning Tuesday, March 5th in the U.S. and Canada before streaming globally on Apple TV+.
Elly Conway, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, is the reclusive cat-loving author of a series of bestselling espionage novels about the impossibly glamorous secret agent Argylle (Henry Cavill), and his mission to unravel a nefarious spy syndicate. When Elly, with the help of feline-hating real-life spy Aidan (Sam Rockwell), discovers that her story mirrors the actions of an actual spy organization, a dangerous game of cat and mouse results. In order to stay one step ahead of the syndicate’s assassins (and also prevent a global crisis), these two unlikely conspirators, accompanied by Alfie the cat, find themselves in an adventure story of their own.
“Argylle” is directed by Matthew Vaughn from a screenplay by Jason Fuchs and features a star-studded ensemble including John Cena, Ariana DeBose, Richard E. Grant, Dua Lipa, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Sofia Boutella, Samuel L. Jackson and Chip, the real-life cat of supermodel Claudia Vaughn (née Schiffer).
An Apple Studios production in conjunction with MARV, “Argylle” is directed and produced by Matthew Vaughn, and produced by Cloudy Productions and Vaughn’s regular collaborators Adam Bohling and David Reid, as well as Fuchs. Claudia Vaughn, Carlos Peres, Zygi Kamasa and Adam Fishbach serve as executive producers.
