Lily James has shared the first look at her upcoming movie about the creation of the dating app Bumble.

Swiped is a biographical film following the life of Bumble CEO and founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, who James plays alongside Dan Stevens as her business partner.

The actor shared three stills from the film to her Instagram profile: one of her in a yellow outfit giving a speech, another of her in a Bumble jumper looking at art on a wall, and a final one of her sitting at a messy desk, deep in thought.

"#itsyourmove You heard it here first," she wrote in the caption, alongside a quote attributed to Herd: "Feminism is not about girl power. It's about equal power."

As well as starring in it, James is producing the project, while Rachel Lee Goldenberg directs on top of co-writing the script.

Herd, who was also a co-founder of the Tinder dating app, set up Bumble in 2014 and became the world's youngest female billionaire when the app went public. She stepped down as Bumble CEO last year.

Swiped is expected to be released in 2025 on Disney-owned streaming service Hulu in the US. It hasn't been announced where it will be available in the UK at the current time.

Meanwhile, James has been announced for a horror film called Let the Evil Go West, which serves as a reunion with her Pam & Tommy co-star Sebastian Stan.

The project is set to follow a railroad worker who "stumbles upon a fortune under deeply disturbing circumstances" and soon starts to see "horrifying visions and manifestations" that "drive him toward madness."

The Fed's soft landing is in sight: Strategist
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) closed Tuesday above 5,500 for the first time ever, while June's ADP employment report revealed slowing jobs growth. JPMorgan Wealth Management global investment strategist Elyse Ausenbaugh joins Morning Brief to discuss the economy's health as Wall Street enters the second half of the year. "All in all, we continue to see a labor market that remains rather robust and working in the favor of consumers with positive real wage growth. And I think we're finding ourselves in kind of this healthy slowdown that ultimately gives one of those key ingredients for the soft landing," Ausenbaugh explains. However, she notes that if the unemployment rate rises above 4%, it will begin to stoke concerns, and the Federal Reserve may not initiate an interest rate cut. As the markets (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) continue to reach all-time highs, Ausenbaugh is comfortable with the current stock valuations: "In an environment where inflation concerns and risks are perhaps as great as recession risks — neither of which we think are particularly meaningful, our base case is for a soft landing — I think so long as that remains part of the equation, these valuations are actually fairly justifiable, particularly because the rally is being driven by these really profitable companies that are surprising to the upside." Ausenbaugh believes that the election could cause market volatility in the second half of the year, especially as investors await the Fed's first rate cut. She also explains that earnings will be a major catalyst that will continue to push the S&P 500 to new heights.
