Royally Screwed: Everything We Know About the Passionflix Movie

Passionflix and bestselling author Emma Chase are teaming up for another movie with the adaptation of Chase’s beloved royal rom-com, Royally Screwed.

“I’ve loved Royally Screwed since the moment I read it and have dreamed of bringing Emma’s world to life on screen for years,” Tosca Musk, Executive Producer and Founder of Passionflix, said in a press release. “This story has everything we love: humor, heart, scandal, and a swoon-worthy romance. With Sophia’s vision and this phenomenal cast, I couldn’t be more excited to finally share it with fans.”

Passionflix is already home to Chase’s Tangled, starring Josh Plasse and Katherine Hughes. It’s one of my favorite Passionflix movies and a great one to watch as we await Royally Screwed.

NOTE: My review of the movie, along with interviews, will be available on February 9 after the embargo lifts.
