Idris Elba To Direct And Star In Apple’s New Psychological Thriller ‘This Is How It Goes’

Golden Globe Award winner Idris Elba is gearing up to direct and star in ‘This Is How It Goes,’ a new psychological thriller for Apple Original Films.

The film is an adaptation of Neil LaBute’s play of the same name and tells the story of a couple who randomly reconnects with an old school acquaintance and offers to take him in. For Elba, this marks a full circle moment as he previously played the character Cody in the 2005 West End production and will now take on a different role in the film.

‘This is How it Goes’ also launches a new partnership between 22Summers (co-founded by Elba, Diene Petterle, and Gina Carter) and Gaumont, which is producing the film for Apple Original Films. Nathaniel Price is writing the screenplay.
