being published Tuesday by Bantam Books/Penguin Random House under the pseudonym “Elly Conway,” and it’s already been adapted into a $200 million film starring Dua Lipa, Henry Cavill, John Cena and Bryce Dallas Howard. Directed by Matthew Vaughn — whose previous hits include the “Kingsman” movies and “X-Men: First Class” — it hits theaters February 2. But the truth about the book’s authorship, and the film’s source material, is as twisted, conspiracy-filled and globe-trotting as a massive Hollywood franchise.
“Something’s fishy,” an anonymous Hollywood producer who has worked with Vaughn, told The Post. In July 2021, it was reported that the director was putting together his next would-be blockbuster, assembling a star-studded cast for a movie based on the as-yet-to-be-published novel “Argylle” by Elly (sometimes written as Ellie) Conway. Vaughn called the book “incredible” and “original,” according to early reports.
The following month, Apple nabbed worldwide film rights to the project in an agreement estimated at $200 million. Nowhere in the all the deal-making was it noted that Vaughn had optioned the “Argylle” novel itself — just that it would be based upon the book. At the end of 2022, Conway surfaced with a verified Instagram account, @ellyconway, that paints her as a bookish New York gal who somehow didn’t know how to use social media and couldn’t believe that Hollywood had come calling.

Matthew Vaughn’s latest spy adventure “Argylle” inches closer to its premiere, one important question remains unanswered: Who is Elly Conway? For those unfamiliar with “Argylle,” the film — starring Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Dua Lipa and more — is said to be based on a book of the same name by Conway, an unknown, first-time author. Indeed, the book itself is real, published by Penguin and available for purchase. But in a twist revealed by the movie’s trailer, Conway is also the name of Howard’s character, a bestselling spy novelist who finds herself involved in some real-life espionage.
