‘ My Policeman’ Trailer Harry Styles Breaks Emma Corrin’ s Heart in Queer Love Triangle

Styles stars as a closeted cop torn between his wife and lover in a decades-spanning romance directed by Michael Grandage

Samantha Bergeson Sep 7, 2022 11:12 am Share This Article Reddit LinkedIn WhatsApp Email Print Talk “My Policeman” screenshot Harry Styles hasn’t just found the one: He’s actually found the two people he wants to spend forever with. Styles plays Tom, a closeted police officer in 1957 Brighton, U.K. who marries Marion (Emma Corrin), while secretly dating arts curator Patrick (David Dawson). “My Policeman” is directed and executive produced by Michael Grandage ("Genius") with a script penned by Ron Nyswaner and adapted from Bethan Roberts' 2012 romance novel of the same name. The film premieres in theaters October 21 before streaming on Amazon Prime Video November 4. The first look at the period romance drama shows Patrick, Marion, and Tom spending time together as a trio, with Tom torn between his two loves. The film later jumps between the 1950s and the 1990s, with Styles' Tom later being played by Linus Roache and Marion now portrayed by Gina McKee, as the couple decide to take an ailing Patrick (Rupert Everett) in after he suffers a stroke.

"There will be, I would imagine, some people who watch it who were very much alive during this time when it was illegal to be gay, and [Michael] wanted to show that it's tender and loving and sensitive." Styles added, "It's obviously pretty unfathomable now to think, 'Oh, you couldn't be gay. That was illegal.’ I think everyone, including myself, has your own journey with figuring out sexuality and getting more comfortable with it. It's not like 'This is a gay story about these guys being gay.' It's about love and about wasted time to me." Director Grandage previously described the character of Tom as “confused,” telling Vanity Fair, “It's made more problematic by the fact that he's a policeman, and he's in a career that is about upholding the law. And the law in the country at the time is about everything he feels - the complexity of it is something that whoever was going to play younger Tom and older Tom needed to somehow understand and absorb.” “My Policeman” premieres in theaters October 21 followed by an Amazon Prime Video release November 4.
