Simu Liu spoke to InStyle about his newest book-to-screen adaptation, “One True Loves,” in which he co-stars with Phillipa Soo. The film casts two Asian actors in leading parts that were originally written for non-Asian characters in the book. In the conversation, he also discusses love, soul mates, and finding “the one.”

“I mean, for the longest period of time, I feel like when people saw an Asian man on screen, they assumed that it was, ‘Oh, well, he clearly does martial arts or he’s here to fight someone’,” Liu says. “I really hope that with every project that I do, including “Shang-Chi”, that dispel that notion that Asian men can only do martial arts on screen. I think as an artist, I really want to explore all of the facets of human emotionality and nuance and relationships and love. We should be able to do that regardless of what we look like.”
One of Liu’s motivations for working on “One True Loves” was the opportunity to collaborate with Soo and add AAPI representation to lead characters who weren’t Asian in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s original book.
“I hope in some way it reminds audiences that we all, regardless of what our cultural background is, what we look like, we all struggle with human emotion,” he says. “We all struggle with heartbreak, with anxiety, with the fear of losing the person that we love.”
Liu wonders if the concept of a single soulmate exists after reading the premise of “One True Loves”, in which the main character gets engaged to her old high school love after her spouse is assumed dead in a helicopter crash, only for her husband to suddenly be found alive.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Steven Spielberg has seen “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” the fifth installment in the long-running adventure franchise and, notably, the first entry not to be directed by Spielberg himself. “The Wolverine” and “Ford v Ferrari” director James Mangold took over filmmaking duties on “Dial of Destiny.” Anyone worried a Spielberg-less “Indiana Jones” movie might not deliver the goods can now rest easy, as Spielberg himself loved the latest sequel. “I just had that experience two nights ago,” Spielberg said at the Time 100 Summit when asked what it’s like watching an “Indiana Jones” movie he didn’t direct. “Bob Iger had a screening for a lot of the Disney executives and I came to the screening along with the director James Mangold. Everybody loved the movie. It’s really, really a good Indiana Jones film. I’m really proud of what Jim has done with it.”

Guy Lodge Film Critic It was recently announced that ever-prolific online content factory Buzzfeed would begin using artificial intelligence technology to generate articles — so can A.I. screenwriting be far behind? Amid a surfeit of production company idents at the outset of “One True Loves,” the presence of Buzzfeed Studios’ logo brings that question to mind; the rigidly generic love story that ensues keeps it there. In fact, this adaptation of a 2016 bestseller by Taylor Jenkins Reid (“Daisy Jones & The Six”) was scripted by the author herself, in collaboration with her husband Alex. There’s scant evidence of personal investment, however, in this clean, anodyne drama of messy romantic conflicts, in which everyone from director Andy Fickman to stars Simu Liu, Phillipa Soo and Luke Bracey is working in strict get-the-job-done mode.
