Lily James Is Set To Star In Movie Inspired By Whitney Wolfe Herd

Lily James is set to star in an untitled film inspired by the story of Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder and former CEO of online dating platform Bumble, with Lily as the lead role. The film will begin shooting in 2024, Lily is set to produce alongside 20th Century and Ethea.

Rachel Lee Goldenberg is directing the film from a script written by herself, Bill Parker and Kim Caramele

Wolfe Herd famously left Tinder, after co-founding the dating app, in 2014. She went on to launch competitor Bumble that same year. In 2021, the company went public and when that transition happened, she officially became one of the youngest self-made billionaires at age 31. Wolfe Herd would step down as CEO in 2023 but by then the app had now become massive successful with several divisions that are still thriving today.
