Accomplished actor Nicholas Galitzine continues to turn heads with the film “The Idea of You.” Currently streaming on Prime Video, the film introduces a fictional boy band called August Moon reminiscent of One Direction. Amid rumors and fan demands, there’s speculation about the potential for a real-life August Moon concert.
The Idea of You and its Notable Cast
“The Idea of You” notably features Nicholas Galitzine as Hayes Campbell, a charismatic member of August Moon. Galitzine depicts a budding romance with a 40-year-old single mother Solène Marchand, deftly portrayed by Anne Hathaway. Supporting band members include Raymond Cham Jr., Viktor White, Dakota Adan, and Jaiden Anthony.
Uniquely, while Galitzine is not typically known for his musical abilities, he lent his own vocals to the film’s performances. Despite his co-stars not sharing this musical proclivity, Galitzine has not dismissed the possibility of a future August Moon concert.

As the film made its debut on the streamer, a soundtrack was also released featuring catchy songs like “Taste,” “Closer,” “I Got You,” and the fan favorite “Guard Down.” Galitzine showcases his singing prowess in two solo songs, “The Idea of You” and “Go Rogue.”
The band’s performances have rapidly populated fans’ playlists, leading to animated social media discussions pushing for more. Desires for the full version of the music videos, particularly the movie’s “Guard Down” fake video, are running rampant.
Crafting August Moon’s Music
With the goal to create a believable, Coachella-worthy band, Savan Kotecha, esteemed for his prior work with One Direction, was brought on board as the film’s music supervisor. Kotecha expertly crafted each song in August Moon’s line-up to reflect the band’s evolution and growing control over their musical style.
These songs range from the catchy pop numbers “I Got You” and “Taste,” akin to offerings from a younger boy band, to the more mature and edgy tune “Guard Down.”
