Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s fake engagement announcement appeared in the Boston Globe as a marketing stunt for A24 psychological thriller The Drama, releasing in 2026
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson have ramped up their promotional efforts for their upcoming film, ‘The Drama’.
The film’s brief synopsis reveals that the plot unfolds just days before a couple’s wedding, when their relationship is rocked after one partner uncovers disturbing truths about the other.
In a unique promotional stunt, a faux engagement announcement for the ‘blissful couple’ was featured in the Boston Globe alongside the newspaper’s romance advice column. The ad offered more insights into the film’s characters.
It read: “Mr and Mrs Roger Harwood of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, announce the engagement of their daughter, Emma Harwood, to Charlie Thompson, son of Mr and Mrs Alan Thompson of London, England. Mr Harwood, a decorated military veteran, is proud to share this joyous news.

“Miss Harwood is a 2013 graduate of Portside High School and a 2017 honours graduate of Boston University, where she earned her BA degree in English. She is currently employed at Mission Books.
“The future groom, Mr Thompson, was a 2004 graduate of Eaton College and went on to earn his PhD in Art History from Tufts University. He serves as the Director of Cambridge Art Museum. The couple will wed on April 3, 2026.”
Just days following publication, the identical image was unveiled as the official film poster. The snapshot captures a raw, slightly grainy moment between the duo as Zendaya’s character flaunts her engagement ring.
Whilst The Drama is scheduled to hit American cinemas from 3rd April 2026, British film fans are still awaiting confirmation on when they’ll get their chance to watch it.
Borgli crafted the script, with Midsommar’s Ari Aster taking on production duties via his Square Peg production company. His breakthrough film Dream Scenario, which dropped in 2023, starred the unpredictable Nicolas Cage as college lecturer Paul Matthews, who inexplicably begins appearing in strangers’ dreams.
“I was writing it at the beginning of 2020, at the same time as there was a global pandemic ramping up, which felt uncanny and strange because I was writing about a dream pandemic,” the director revealed to GQ.
“I was thinking about massive cultural response to a phenomenon, and here it was, happening at the same time, in a very physical way.”
Off-screen, Spider-Man co-stars Zendaya and Tom Holland are believed to have become engaged last year. The pair are anticipated to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony, with her stylist dropping hints about potential wedding arrangements in recent months.
Speculation around their engagement intensified after Zendaya was photographed sporting a diamond ring at January’s Golden Globes. While the Euphoria actress and 29 year old Tom haven’t publicly confirmed their engagement, those in their inner circle have.
In the meantime, Pattinson has recently welcomed a baby girl into the world with his fiancée Suki Waterhouse.
