Theo James Offered Lead In Romantic Drama “The Oxford” Opposite Melissa Benoist
As per a new article by Tracking Board, Screen Gems and Temple Hill Entertainment are developing a romantic drama titled “The Oxford” with offers out to Theo James and Supergirl star Melissa Benoist as the male and female leads respectively.
This is the storyline of the movie:
The story follows a junior year college student, Allison Gallagher, who studies abroad in England, where she falls in love with her young British professor Jamie Davenport. Their budding relationship becomes complicated, however, when she finds out that he has leukemia.
Note that this is not a confirmation that Theo will be doing the film, just another offer that he has on the table. This will be a very busy year for Theo with a Franny UK Premiere and an appearance at the Nantucket Film Festival Showing this month as well as the current filming of Allegiant Part 1 and the his upcoming film Black Lung with Amanda Seyfried. This is definitely turning out to be the year of Theo James.
Don’t forget that he will be filming Underworld 5, with principal photography commencing in October in Prague. Theo is a busy man, indeed!
The story sounds Sooo good ! I hope he finds the time to do it ^_^
He’s such a good actor!! He’ll be amazing no matter what he chooses to do but I think he could grow so much more as an actor doing “The Oxford”. Im sure it’ll be alot of fun to do Underworld 5 tho & noone can portray David better than Theo. He has set the bar so high.
