About this deal

And unfortunately, there’s just enough evidence that I’ve found myself, against all better judgment, indulging the theory. Elly Conway, an introverted spy novelist who seldom leaves her home, is drawn into the real world of espionage when the plots of her books, featuring a fictional secret agent named Argylle, get a little too close to the activities of a sinister underground syndicate.

Beyond her Penguin author bio page: She posts about brunch on social media, she has maybe also gone by Ellie, and she is not Cat Connor. In October 2023, Vaughn confirmed plans to create additional movies, while stating that the second movie will be based on the first Argylle novel.One 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 an interview with Variety, the cast of Argylle addressed the mystery of the true author behind the book. When Aidan, an undercover spy, shows up to save her from being kidnapped or killed, Elly and her beloved cat Alfie are plunged into a covert world where nothing and no one are what they seem, including to the discovery that Agent Argylle, in fact, exists for real. I love the idea that each book is numbered and limited, they're extra special because they're personalised with those sought-after signatures, and they are not on tip-in pages.

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? There IS a lot of Taylor Swift coded clues or "Easter eggs" which are hard to ignore, I would be more inclined to believe that Taylor Swift may be cast as the last character introduced in the book (will leave the name out so you can all see for yourselves the link).The whole thing was so convincing that readers regularly walk away convinced that there is an unabridged Princess Bride out there, and that they can find it if they only work hard enough.

Fairly sure it's just a marketing tactic for the movie, being 'written' by one of the characters and all. all in all if you love spy novels, mission impossible, Russian history, unlikely heroes, team dynamics, and a race against the clock for a prize of untold fortune, this book is for you. The “112 days theory,” as defined by Swiftipedia is “the theory says that since the eras tour, taylor releases stuff.

This may mean that some people feel it won't live up to the hype (this was the problem with Iron Flame for me). Vaughn later confirmed that the second film will be based on the first novel, [26] with the plot exploring the origins of Argylle becoming a spy; while the third movie will follow additional installments of the book series. In a meta twist, the Argylle trailer confirmed that Conway is the in-universe author of the book as well. Either way I wanted to give it a read before seeing the movie and when it became available on my PRH audio app I dove in!

In June 2023, it was announced that the film would be released in theaters on February 2, 2024, by Universal Pictures and Apple Original Films, before releasing on Apple TV+ at an undetermined date. The Instagram account - The first post on Elly Conway's Instagram was shared on Taylor's birthday, December 13th. The names on the covers of the books were the names of fictional characters, but the publishers made it clear that the books themselves were ghostwritten by real people.Vaughn went on to explain that “Book 4, which is what the movie’s based around, was the one that would work for it. Since Murder, She Wrote took off in the mid-1980s, an interminable series of spin-off books has been published under the name of the programme’s novelist heroine Jessica Fletcher. The true Princess Bride, he informed readers in a lengthy introduction, was a great 19th-century novel by the immortal Florinese author S. John Cena on Vacation Friends, Balancing the Crazy with Heart, and Matthew Vaughn's Spy Movie Argylle". Just not my thing at all, and the incorrect pronunciations (which may have partly been the result of a British narrator narrating in an American accent?
