Rising star Connor Storrie is reportedly in talks to join the ensemble of Please, the upcoming A24 feature from acclaimed filmmaker Halina Reijn. If the deal is finalized, Storrie will join a high-profile cast that already includes singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams and Strike actor Tom Burke.
Halina Reijn, who has become a staple of the A24 roster with hits like Bodies Bodies Bodies and the erotic thriller Babygirl, is set to direct from her own original screenplay. While the film’s plot is being kept firmly under wraps, the project is already generating significant buzz due to Reijn’s recent string of critical successes.
A Rising Star on the Move
Connor Storrie has quickly emerged as one of Hollywood’s most closely watched newcomers. His potential casting in Please would mark his second major collaboration with A24 in recent months, following his role in the upcoming comedy Peaked, directed by Molly Gordon and Allie Levitan.
Storrie’s meteoric rise can be largely attributed to his breakout performance in Heated Rivalry, the queer hockey drama based on Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novels. Starring opposite Hudson Williams, Storrie’s portrayal has earned him a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. The series was recently renewed for a second season, solidifying his status as a leading man in the prestige television space.

Inside the Production of Please
The project is being produced through Reijn’s production banner, Man Up, alongside her frequent collaborator David Hinojosa. A24 is handling the financing and production of the film, with Zach Nutman serving as executive producer.
The Halina Reijn Aesthetic Known for her sharp, provocative storytelling and visually striking direction, Reijn has carved out a niche for exploring complex power dynamics and social tension. Industry insiders expect Please to follow in this vein, though it remains unclear whether the film will lean toward the satirical horror of Bodies Bodies Bodies or the psychological depth of Babygirl.
A Star-Studded Ensemble The inclusion of Gracie Abrams—who has been making a move into acting alongside her successful music career—and the veteran presence of Tom Burke suggests a multifaceted cast. Adding Storrie into the mix brings a fresh, contemporary energy that aligns with A24’s reputation for championing “it-crowd” talent.
Release and Anticipation
As with many A24 productions, the studio is leaning into a “mystery box” marketing strategy. No official release date has been set, but with casting currently underway, production is expected to begin later this year. For Storrie, a role in Please would continue a streak of high-brow projects that position him at the forefront of his generation’s most promising actors.
