A fourth jokingly wrote: "Please tell me your song Scream If You Wanna Go Faster will be on the soundtrack!"
Geri is heading to Hollywood!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Geri has been cast alongside Black Adam's Djimon Hounsou. The film will also star Orlando Bloom, Darren Barnett, Daniel Puig, and German actor Thomas Kretschman.
Geri and Djimon will play the parents of Archie Madekwe's character, the "teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won him a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race-car driver".
Luckily for Geri, she is no stranger to the world of racing as her husband, Christian Horner, is the Team Principle of Red Bull's Formula 1 team and a former racing driver.

It's been an exciting time for Geri as it was only last month that she announced she has signed a two-part book deal, with the first book due for release in the autumn of 2023.
The novel, titled Rose Frost and the Falcon Queen, follows the titular character who travels to a mysterious island home filled with "extraordinary teenagers and [is] also a sanctuary for endangered creatures".
