Prime Video recently unveiled its much-anticipated adaptation of “Red, White & Royal Blue.” Since its premiere last week, the film has been the talk of the town, thanks in no small part to the palpable on-screen chemistry between Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine. As the dust settles post-release, Prime Video adds a cherry on top by releasing a deleted scene, instantly recognizable to those familiar with the novel.
A Deleted Scene Worth Every Frame
This exclusive scene revolves around Alex, portrayed by Perez, and Henry, played by Galitzine. The sequence unfolds shortly after the infamous cake incident, where Alex is compelled to keep up appearances with Henry. In a nod to the book, the scene paints the picture of the iconic ‘Cornettos moment.’ As Henry’s nocturnal cravings get the better of him, he interrupts Alex’s chat with Nora, brilliantly played by Rachel Hilson. All the while, Alex isn’t shy about his disdain for the prince. But as tension mounts, Henry lightens the mood by offering his Cornettos. Trading olives for ice creams? Alex thinks so, even making a playful, yet cheeky Instagram post (#imtaller) about it.
The Alchemy of Chemistry: The Heart of Red, White & Royal Blue
Alex and Henry’s budding relationship is a dance of warmth and wit. Their playful banter keeps the audience engaged and rooting for them. In a candid chat, director Matthew López underscored the pivotal role of Perez and Galitzine’s chemistry in the film. He candidly mentioned, “One crucial thing was clear – if we can’t nail the casting, there’s no film.” Fortunately, the stars aligned for López, delighting fans worldwide.
From Page to Screen: The Making of a Masterpiece
Casey McQuiston’s bestselling novel “Red, White & Royal Blue” served as the foundation for the film. Marking his maiden venture into feature films, López didn’t just direct but also penned the screenplay, refining an initial draft by Ted Malawar. The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Uma Thurman as President Ellen Claremont, Ellie Bamber, Sarah Shahi, Stephen Fry, and many more, each bringing their unique flair to this cinematic gem.
