HARRY Styles could soon be back in Sussex following his Seven Sisters photoshoot for Vogue last year.
The former One Direction star is set to return to the county to begin filming Amazon’s romantic drama My Policeman.
Production of the feature is set to start in April, Vogue reported yesterday.
He will star in the film, set in Brighton, alongside The Crown's Emma Corrin.
Corrin, who is nominated for a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for her portrayal of Diana, Princess of Wales, will play Marion, Styles’s on-screen wife.
The chart topping singer will portray Tom, the police officer of the title. The Amazon Studios drama is based on Bethan Roberts’s 2012 novel of the same name.
The story takes place in the late 1990s when the arrival of Patrick, an elderly invalid, triggers an exploration of events from 40 years previous – Tom and Patrick’s relationship at a time when being gay was illegal.
Award-winning theatre director Michael Grandage will direct from an adapted screenplay by Oscar-winner Ron Nyswaner, who penned 1993 legal drama Philadelphia.
Corrin, 25, has become one of the industry’s most sought after actresses thanks to her acclaimed portrayal of a struggling Diana in series four of The Crown.
Singer Styles, 27, made his acting debut in Christopher Nolan’s 2017 war film Dunkirk and will star in Olivia Wilde’s psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling.
Last year, the musician and a team from fashion bible Vogue trekked up to the top of Seven Sisters for a photoshoot.
The images captured that day featured on the front cover of the November 2020 edition of the magazine.
While visiting the Sussex beauty spot, the musician appeared to be impressed by the incredible scenery on offer in Sussex.
"Look at that field." he told one of the Vogue photographers.
"How lucky are we? This is our office."
Since leaving One Direction, Harry Styles has released two critically acclaimed studio albums and earned plaudits for his distinctive style.
Gucci’s Alessandro Michele, who is also a friend of Styles, told Vogue: "He’s really in touch with his feminine side because it’s something natural.
"And he’s a big inspiration to a younger generation—about how you can be in a totally free playground when you feel comfortable.
"I think that he’s a revolutionary."
