BLACKPINK's Lisa Ventures into Romantic Comedy: A Netflix Production Inspired by Notting Hill

From K-Pop Icon to Hollywood Rom-Com Star In a move that further cements her transition from K-pop superstar to multifaceted entertainer, Lisa (Lalisa Manoban) of BLACKPINK has officially signed on to star in and executive produce a romantic comedy for Netflix . This marks a significant evolution in her acting career, following her critically acclaimed debut in HBO's The White Lotus Season 3. The project reunites Lisa with David Bernad , the producer behind The White Lotus , who clearly recognized her star potential during their previous collaboration. Together with acclaimed screenwriter Katie Silberman ( Booksmart , Set It Up ), they're crafting a contemporary romantic comedy inspired by one of the genre's most beloved classics: Notting Hill (1999). Project Highlights: 🎬 Platform : Netflix original film 🌟 Star & Executive Producer : Lisa (Lalisa Manoban) 🎥 Producer : David Bernad ( The White Lotus , Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar ) ✍️ Screenwriter : Katie Silberman ( Booksmart , Set It Up ) 💼 Additional Executive Producer : Alice Kang (Lisa's manager) 💕 Genre : Romantic comedy 🎭 Inspiration : Notting Hill (1999) starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts This announcement comes at a perfect moment in Lisa's career—fresh off the successful conclusion of BLACKPINK's Deadline World Tour and just weeks before the release of the group's highly anticipated mini-album Deadline on February 27, 2026. A Love Story Born from Shared Passion The Notting Hill Connection The genesis of this romantic comedy is a story in itself, rooted in genuine artistic connection rather than calculated business strategy. During the filming of The White Lotus Season 3 in Thailand, Lisa and producer David Bernad discovered a shared love for Notting Hill , the 1999 romantic comedy that has become a defining film of the genre. Why Notting Hill Resonates: The original film starring Hugh Grant as a humble London bookshop owner and Julia Roberts as a famous American actress exploring themes that feel particularly relevant to Lisa's own life: Fame and normalcy : The contrast between celebrity life and ordinary existence Cultural crossover : An international romance transcending borders Identity vs. perception : Being seen as a person beyond the public image Love against odds : Relationships that defy social expectations The price of fame : Privacy, authenticity, and personal connection in the spotlight Lisa's Personal Connection: For Lisa, Notting Hill holds special significance. As someone who has lived under intense public scrutiny since her BLACKPINK debut in 2016, the film's exploration of how fame affects relationships and personal identity clearly resonates. The idea of finding authentic connection despite—or perhaps because of—being in the public eye mirrors aspects of her own journey. In discussing the project, Lisa shared with David Bernad how Notting Hill has been a comfort film for her, something she returns to when seeking both entertainment and emotional authenticity. This genuine passion for the source material convinced Bernad that Lisa wasn't just another celebrity looking for a film credit—she deeply understands what makes romantic comedies work. From Conversation to Collaboration What started as casual on-set conversations about favorite films quickly evolved into serious creative discussions. Bernad, known for his keen eye for talent and compelling stories, saw an opportunity to create something special: The Creative Vision: Update the Notting Hill formula for a contemporary, globally-minded audience Center the story on themes of identity, fame, and authentic connection Showcase Lisa's range beyond her established personas Create a romantic comedy that appeals to both Western and Asian markets Blend Hollywood rom-com traditions with K-culture sensibilities Lisa's Role Evolution: Significantly, Lisa won't just be starring in this film—she's stepping into the role of executive producer , giving her creative input and control over the project. This represents a major step in her evolution as an entertainer, moving from performer to creative decision-maker. What Executive Producer Means: Creative input on script development Involvement in casting decisions Influence over tone and direction Authority over music and soundtrack Control over marketing and presentation Building experience for future production ventures By taking on this dual role, Lisa follows in the footsteps of other K-pop artists-turned-producers like IU , who has successfully balanced performing with production responsibilities. Katie Silberman: The Perfect Screenwriter A Proven Track Record in Rom-Coms The choice of Katie Silberman as screenwriter signals serious ambition for this project. Silberman has established herself as one of contemporary Hollywood's most skilled writers in the romantic comedy genre, with credits that demonstrate both critical acclaim and popular appeal. Katie Silberman's Notable Works: Booksmart (2019): Olivia Wilde's directori
