The headline
Lucy Hale is back in rom‑com territory, but this time with a sprinkle of the supernatural. Deadline says she’ll lead a new movie called Vision Board — a fantasy-tinged love story that sounds equal parts glossy and weird in the best way.
What the movie is about
Hale plays a fashion designer who’s flatlining creatively and personally. One drunken craft night later, she sticks together a vision board…and wakes up to discover the collage didn’t just inspire her — it actually happened. Overnight she’s got the Malibu house, the booming label, and a seemingly perfect partner.
At first it’s a dream come true, but the film quickly turns that fairy-tale checklist into a question: when your wishlist becomes reality, do you still recognize yourself? Expect comedy, a few awkwardly unclothed moments played for laughs, and the kind of self-check that gives rom‑coms their heart.
Meet the team behind it
Director Peter Hutchings reunites with Hale after their previous collaborations on Best Enemies and Which Brings Me to You. The screenplay comes from novelist Morgan Matson, who scored a hit with Save the Date — so the script’s pedigree leans literary and emotional, not just gimmicky.
How this fits into Lucy Hale’s orbit
Hale’s been carving out a post‑Pretty Little Liars rom‑com lane, and Vision Board looks like a neat next step: familiar charm with a new genre twist. She’s also got other projects on the way, including the sci‑fi thriller White Mars (she’s a microbiologist battling a hostile force) and the horror film Legacy, about siblings unraveling a creepy family estate.
Why you might want to care
Vision Board sounds like a rom‑com that’s trying to be more than meet‑cute polish. It’s about ambition, identity, and whether getting everything you want is really the point. If you like rom‑coms with bite, a dash of magical realism, and a lead who’s both likable and complicated, this one’s on the radar.
