Bella Ramsey, Louis Partridge and Ruby Stokes will star in a new comedy.
The Last Of Us star Bella, 20, Enola Holmes actor Louis, 20, and Bridgerton star Ruby, 23, will headline George Jaques’ second feature film Sunny Dancer, according to Variety.
The new hit film, which premieres at the Cannes market, follows Ivy (Bella), a teenager in remission from cancer.
Bella has a loud mother and a well-meaning father who insists that she attend Children Run Free Camp, a summer retreat for young adults affected by cancer.
The camp’s motto, “where boys come to boys,” does little to pique Ivy’s interest or resolve her concerns, and a quick Google search confirms her fears.

He stumbles upon a strange and embarrassing promotional video full of tacky messages and cliché sunsets.
When Ivy is reluctantly dragged through the camp experience, which she calls “chemo camp,” she discovers new feelings with new friends.
George revealed that the film focuses on a “subject close to his heart” and he is beyond excited for its release.
He said: I am beyond excited to tell this story that focuses on a topic very close to my heart.
“I can’t imagine anyone better to bring it to life than the incredible cast of Bella, Louis and Ruby – I’m really excited to have them be a part of this.”
Embankment Films, which is handling the film’s global pre-sales, said the film showcases “the best of new British talent”.
Hugo Grumbar of Embankment Films added: “We are committed to the global promotion of emerging talent and George Jaques is a force of nature, who has written funny and highly engaging characters, in an emotional and intelligent comedy.”
The new film is highly anticipated as the main cast has starred in a number of award-winning productions.
Premiering at the Cannes market, George’s (pictured) new hit film follows Ivy (Bella), a teenager in remission from cancer who attends a support camp.
George is considered a quadruple threat as a writer, producer, director and actor.
Her first feature film, Black Dog, had its world premiere at the 2023 BFI London Film Festival, while she has appeared in television shows including HBO’s The Third Day and Lionsgate’s The Serpent Queen.
Bella is best known as the BAFTA, Emmy, and Golden Globe-nominated star of the 2023 drama series The Last of Us.
Louis starred in both of Netflix’s Enola Holmes films and will appear in Noah Baumbach’s upcoming, as-yet-untitled film, with George Clooney and Adam Sandler.
Ruby appeared in the Netflix production Lockwood & Co. and the acclaimed British drama Rocks.
