Rome Flynn Joins Nicole Wallace in Amazon MGM’s ‘Throttled’ Film Adaptation

Rome Flynn, known for roles in Godfather of Harlem and How to Get Away With Murder, has been cast in Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming romance film Throttled. The movie is based on the first book in Lauren Asher’s bestselling Dirty Air series, and Flynn will star opposite Nicole Wallace, who plays Maya Alatorre, an ambitious young woman navigating a complicated relationship with an F1 driver. The film is directed by Nzingha Stewart from a script by Melissa Osborne, with production details still emerging. Flynn’s casting adds star power to a project already generating buzz among fans of the popular book series, which has sold millions of copies worldwide. The adaptation is part of Amazon MGM’s push into romance-driven content, following the success of films like The Idea of You. Throttled is expected to begin filming later this year, with a release date yet to be announced.
