Last November, Wayfarer Studios, co-producers of "It Ends with Us," announced plans for "Dinner With Audrey," a biopic about the late Oscar-winning actress Audrey Hepburn. Thomasin McKenzie, known for "Last Night in Soho," was cast as Hepburn. Filming is now underway in Budapest, and the first official stills have been released (pictured below).

"Dinner With Audrey" chronicles a magical night in Paris shared by Hepburn and her longtime confidant, legendary fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy. In 1953, a 24-year-old Audrey was on the cusp of international stardom but grappled with inner anxieties. Director Billy Wilder tasked her with finding suitable costumes for his upcoming film, "Sabrina," leading her to the atelier of a young, overworked Hubert.
Though Hubert initially declined Audrey's request for design assistance, her persistence and unique charm ultimately ignited a profound connection rooted in their shared artistic vision. Over the course of one whirlwind night, Audrey and Hubert risked their careers to support each other, forging a legendary forty-year collaboration.

Joining McKenzie in the cast is Ansel Elgort, known for "Baby Driver," as Givenchy. His photographer sister, Sophie Elgort, is also serving as the film's cinematographer. The ensemble also includes Judy Greer as renowned Hollywood costume designer Edith Head, and Miranda Richardson as Hepburn's mother, Ella Van Heemstra. Michael Shannon is also set to appear in an undisclosed role.
Abe Sylvia, creator and executive producer of the series "Palm Royale," directs the film from a screenplay penned by Kara Holden, known for "Carrie Pilby." A release date has yet to be announced.
