Here is a statement from David Garrett, executive producer of The Hating Game:
The script is “witty, charming and sexy – everything you would want in a rom com – together with two great leads who have a built-in chemistry, having already starred together in ‘Fantasy Island...Good escapist fare is the order of the day: People want to get out of their houses and go and have a fun evening out.”
“We made a very conscious decision to just focus on films that are either finished or in post-production or really shooting, and in relatively contained environments,” said Garrett.
“Buyers are very wary at the moment of films that don’t have definite start dates. An awful lot of movies are going to be scrambling around for crew and cast.”
Here is a statement from Claude Dal Farra, one of the producers of The Hating Game:
“We are thrilled to be shooting such a fun movie in New York right now! To work with these two wonderful and talented young actors and bring some lightness in these difficult times is such an honor.”
Here is the goodreads' synopsis of The Hating Game:
Nemesis (n.) 1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome.
2) A person’s undoing
3) Joshua Templeman
Lucy Hutton has always been certain that the nice girl can get the corner office. She’s charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. And the feeling is mutual.
Trapped in a shared office together 40 (OK, 50 or 60) hours a week, they’ve become entrenched in an addictive, ridiculous never-ending game of one-upmanship. There’s the Staring Game. The Mirror Game. The HR Game. Lucy can’t let Joshua beat her at anything—especially when a huge new promotion goes up for the taking.
If Lucy wins this game, she’ll be Joshua’s boss. If she loses, she’ll resign. So why is she suddenly having steamy dreams about Joshua, and dressing for work like she’s got a hot date? After a perfectly innocent elevator ride ends with an earth-shattering kiss, Lucy starts to wonder whether she’s got Joshua Templeman all wrong.
Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn’t hate Joshua Templeman. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.
