Chris Evans and Ana de Armas’ Ghosted could become the next big thing in action rom-com genre
What to expect from Ghosted
Ghosted is an upcoming American movie that will feature romance, comedy, action, and adventure. It depicts a common man Cole (Evans) believing he has finally found his true match in Sadie (de Armas).
He is completely smitten with the mysterious Sadie. Yet after just one date, it seems that she has ghosted him. When he goes to London in the hopes of meeting her, he learns that the girl of his dreams has been taken by a band of criminals and is not who he thought she was. Sadie, who is revealed to be a CIA agent, intervenes to save Cole just in time. Now, the pair must escape from a group of bad guys who are coming after them.
Furthermore, in the trailer, we also catch a peek of Adrien Brody’s villain. In addition to introducing us to new characters, the clip has a number of high-octane action scenes involving the main pair.
Moreover, with a role reversal of the featured couple, the initial section of the teaser strongly resembles the Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz action comedy Knight And Day (2010). Yet near its conclusion, a character asks Sadie about Cole’s intentions, which is similar to Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), a film with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the lead.
