Josephine Langford, who leads the screen adaptation of the “After” franchise, hasn’t been able to move on quite yet. Although filming wrapped last fall for the third and fourth films, the release schedule — “After We Fell” came out this fall, and “After Ever After” will be released next year — means that she’ll be talking about her breakout role into 2022. But she’s hopeful that she’ll get to do her goodbye tour in person.
“We had a premiere and a press tour on the first movie and we were able to travel to so many places and luckily get to interact one-on-one with fans,” she says. “We haven’t had so much of that experience now because of COVID-19, and I’m hoping — I’m being told — that next year things will resume.”
That fan interaction is paramount for a film that hinges on a dedicated following who watch not for their cinematic value but for a dedication to the two central characters. Langford and costar Hero Fiennes Tiffin are the real-life stand-ins for “After” stars. “I think it has nothing to do with me. I think it has to do with the books,” says Langford of the films’ resonance. “The love
