Freida Pinto & Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù Talk About “Mr. Malcolm’s List” & Their Own Lists! Exclusive Interview

Much to the delight of Regency-era fiction fans, “Mr. Malcolm’s List” arrives on the scene to fill the vacuum left by ‘Bridgerton’ Season 2.

The drama/historical film stars Freida Pinto as Selina Dalton, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù as Jeremiah Malcolm, and Zawe Ashton as Julia Thistlewaite. “Mr. Malcolm’s List” follows the story of a wealthy young earl who is eager to find a bride who fits his onerous list of requirements.

However, when the caricature of a disastrous date between Thistlewaite and Mr. Malcolm is distributed all over England, Thistlewaite devises a game of romantic chess to recover from her public humiliation. In a comedic relief role by Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Cousin Lord Cassidy, the pair call upon their poor, yet gracious childhood friend, Selina Dalton. Similar to the trope of “My Fair Lady,” they teach Dalton how to walk, talk, and dance, all to the benefit of creating the “perfect woman” to entice Mr. Malcolm.
