A few tidbits I’ve seen in interviews and reviews recently:

The dog we saw in the early released running shot was apparently annoying to work with.

Taron dances in this film, though I doubt it’ll be as epic as Apex’s dance.

The director seems to think the film might keep the current name, despite censorship concerns. It’s making a name for itself right now and it stands out, but it could still end up changed.

Early reviews for the film were mostly positive. I’m starting to see more negative reviews, but they all pretty unanimously agree that Taron was amazing in the movie. For example, The New York Post wrote: “Without the blazing charisma of Egerton, at once a leading man and a quirky character actor, this tedious film would have no reason to exist.”

I’ve seen some comparisons to Obsession as well, which I personally haven’t seen but I know was very well received. One review said something along the lines of “EWTFM would have felt more original if Obsession hadn’t come out first” (paraphrasing).

Overall, I’ve loved Taron’s looks at these events, but the black-on-black here was my favorite. It was from events on the 11th.

Photos feature EWTFM cast Jessica Henwick and Charly Clive, and director Jonathan Schey. Taken September 12, 2026. Published in various places but I grabbed these selected ones from @taronegerton_bra on ig.

Looks like he's enjoying the day with his mom. I've seen a few other event photos of him, but these are some of my favorite.

I go back and forth on his fashion sense, but I really like this specific outfit. Thoughts?
