The 2000 classic gets an update with Zoë Kravitz.
In 2000, viewers were introduced to Rob, a record store owner portrayed by John Cusack in the adaptation of Nick Hornby's novel,. A certified music nerd with a slightly obsessive habit of making top five playlists, Rob was equally illuminating and insufferable, candid and elusive, charming but disastrous with romance.
Now 20 years later, Rob is getting an update. The beloved book-turned-movie will release on Hulu as a series that views its predecessors through a refreshingly modern lens. Rob will still be the owner of a little record shop and maintain an authoritative voice on all things music, and, of course, all matters of romance will still be a source of conflict for the character. However,the series Rob is now Robin—a biracial, bisexual woman, starred by Zoë Kravitz. And instead of a Chicago location, Rob and her store now reside in Brooklyn.
Zoë Kravitz appears in Hulu's new original series,"High Fidelity." Season 1 of the show releases on the streaming network on February 14.David H. Holmes and Da'Vine Joy Randolph will play Rob's buddies and record store employees Simon and Cherise, respectively. Meanwhile, Kingsley Ben-Adir will star as Russell, the ex-boyfriend Rob is still struggling to get over, while Jake Lacy serves as Clyde, her latest complicated love interest.
