Early next month, a film will be released that is the very definition of a labor of love. Written by, directed by, and starring a plucky newcomer, it’s been half a decade in the making. But now, after reportedly enduring a string of problems and being left out of the public eye for several years, it’s finally ready for all the world to see. The film is Lola. The rookie in charge is Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
If that name sounds familiar, it could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe you’re a bone-deep fan of the Transformers franchise and recognize her best as Tessa Yeager from the 2014 installment, Age of Extinction. Maybe you enjoyed her multi-season, 14-episode run as Bradley Martin in the superfluous Psycho spin-off Bates Motel. Or, you know, maybe it’s just because her dad’s a billionaire and she’s married to David Beckham’s eldest son.
