About this deal

The silencer on the gun in the photo is actually a Pat McGrath lipstick that Swift is known to wear. May have to check in with my thriller writing pals, as clearly Elly Conway is no more authentic than Richard Castle, the fictional author portrayed by Nathan Fillion, despite a string of successful ghost-written novels under his name. NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The globe-trotting spy thriller that inspired the upcoming action blockbuster Argylle (February 2024) , featuring a star-studded cast including Henry Cavill , Bryce Dallas Howard, Samuel L. The internet has gone into a frenzy over Argylle, a forthcoming spy movie, and its supposed source material, a yet-to-be-published novel by one Elly Conway.

The theory was also fuelled by Chip the cat's Instagram account, as whoever is behind it has been posting about Taylor while the Swifties have been busy theorising.He’s not telling anyone who wrote Argylle because admitting Elly Conway isn’t real means killing the magic.

Taylor Swift’s fans started in on the Argylle mystery not long after the film’s trailer — poppy and colorful and set to Elvis’s “Suspicious Minds,” with the likes of Dua Lipa, Henry Cavill, and Samuel L.I can’t quite endorse the grand claims by Matthew Vaughn on the cover – “This is going to reinvent the spy genre” – but Argylle is an excellent example of the action-thriller genre, one that manages not to take itself too seriously without ever lapsing into silliness. Someone, clearly, has decided to make it look as if Elly Conway is an actual person — and why do that (people on the internet have demanded) if she is not a globally renowned superstar who wants to keep her head down on her fun writing hobby? Don't expect a lot of romance or fantastic character development, because 80% of the book is only action.

e., spy, Russian bad guys, missing treasure, though not having read too much of this genre I found it interesting. The fictional Elly Conway's look - Bryce Dallas Howard plays Elly Conway in the film, and Swifties thought she bore a striking resemblance to the older version of Sadie Sink's character that Taylor portrayed in the 'ATW (10MV)' music video. This book starts slow, but ends with a bang, to be honest I didn't feel that intense pull to be listening to the story, but I'm going to say that was due to the narration (more on that in a bit) than the actual book. And I say that because I imagine Taylor Swift has a load of people trying to jump on her bandwagon left, right, and center, and I don’t want to be a part of that club.

As Vaughn told the Happy Sad Confused podcast in October, “I love the idea of what would happen if J. Jackson appearing alongside Howard — featured a Scottish fold in a backpack, an image that is essential to Swiftian iconography.

I know this book has already been a hot topic of conversation, and it hasn't even been released yet. The most incredible spy franchise since Ian Fleming’ Matthew VaughnOne Russian magnate’s dream of restoring a nation to greatness has set in motion a chain of events which will take the world to the brink of chaos. In March 2022, it was confirmed that the first film will be followed by two sequels to complete a film trilogy. When asked about casting Cavill, he said: "I needed someone who was born to play Bond — which Henry is — and then nick him before Bond did.Elly Conway, later revealed as the fictional author of the in-universe Argylle novels, was initially reported to have written the book that the script was based on during the film's announcement. It all adds to the excitement and wanting to keep reading to find out where it is going next, particularly as it switches between different settings.
