Brett Goldstein stood on the red carpet at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on May 26 as Netflix held the world premiere of Office Romance in Los Angeles.
The film, directed by Ol Parker and co-written by Goldstein and Joe Kelly, brought a crowded cast and producing team to the screening. Jennifer Lopez — one of the film's producers through Nuyorican Films — and Edward James Olmos, who reunited with Lopez after appearing together in Selena, embraced and posed for cameras. Adam Sandler arrived with his wife Jackie Sandler, who also stars in the movie alongside Amy Sedaris, Jodie Whittaker, Betty Gilpin, Tony Plana, Will Sasso, Lisa Gilroy and Tony Hale.
Office Romance follows Jackie Cruz, a CEO at a major airline who also flies the plane, who falls in love with new company lawyer Daniel Blanchflower; their secret affair puts both at risk of destroying their careers. The official synopsis says the couple decide to "stop playing by the rules and start following their hearts." The film is set to release on Netflix on June 5.
Behind the camera, production was handled by Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett for Ryder Picture Company, with Goldstein, Joe Kelly, Jennifer Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina producing for Nuyorican Films. Courtney Baxter is listed as executive producer for Nuyorican. Netflix staged the world premiere on May 26 in Los Angeles, with the global streaming launch scheduled for June 5.
The premiere underscored a broad push behind the film: heavy-name talent on screen and name-brand producers off it. Lopez's reunion with Olmos provided a flashpoint for photographers, while the presence of established comic and dramatic performers signaled Netflix's faith in a crowded, cross-genre cast. At the same time, the film's premise — two senior employees risking careers for a secret relationship — undercuts the comfortable glamour of the premiere, a reminder that the story at the film's center trades on professional peril rather than celebrity spectacle.
That contrast — glossy publicity versus a plot about personal and professional risk — is the film's tension in miniature. A star-studded red carpet emphasizes the commercial muscle Netflix and its partners can deploy; the film itself invites viewers into a small-scale moral and emotional gamble. How audiences respond when Office Romance lands on the service will test whether star power or story is the stronger draw for subscribers on June 5.
For Goldstein, who co-wrote the screenplay and is credited as a producer, the premiere was both a public debut and a practical marker: the film moves from industry showpiece to streaming player in little more than a week. With Nuyorican Films' multiyear first-look deal with Netflix in place, Office Romance's release is likely the opening chapter of further collaborations between the production company and the streamer — and a moment that positions Goldstein as a visible creative force behind a film arriving on a major platform on June 5.
