If you’re a Colleen Hoover fan, get ready for some big news! After all the buzz about It Ends With Us, the movie had everyone talking. Another one of Hoover’s bestselling novels, Regretting You, is all set to be adapted for the big screen. The excitement is already building, and we’ve got all the inside details to share with you.
What is Regretting You all about? But at its core, it’s a story about a mother, Morgan, and her daughter, Clara. The mother had Clara very young, meaning she had to put her own ambitions on hold to raise her daughter. The action picks up when a tragic accident shakes their world and Morgan’s relationship with her daughter, Clara, becomes super complicated. It’s emotional; it’s raw; and if you’re anything like us, you’ll probably want to have some tissues nearby.
And who’s bringing these characters to life? Drumroll, please! Allison Williams is going to play Morgan. Meanwhile, the talented McKenna Grace will play Clara. With a duo like that, we’re expecting some serious on-screen magic. Add to this the fact that the script is penned by Susan McMartin, and Josh Boone the guy who directed “The Fault in Our Stars” will be calling the shots, and it’s shaping up to be something special. Oh, and the cherry on the top is that Dave Franco might be joining the cast too.
Now, let’s talk about It Ends With Us for a second. With that, when it came to theatres, people had big expectations. It was marketed and portrayed as a rom-com, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, but it dealt with heavy stuff like domestic violence. Surely not everyone was entranced with how the movie turned out. Some thought there wasn’t that much chemistry between the cast, but it found its audience. Most dominantly with those who didn’t read the book, the movie performed rather well and raked in a decent amount worldwide of $80 million.
With Regretting You now en route, we’re crossing our fingers that it can capture the same emotional depth and complexity that made the book special. We have some feeling that stories by Colleen Hoover will have this special way of pulling the strings in our hearts, so we are looking optimistically forward to seeing how this one turns out. Whether you’re a diehard Hoover fan or just take pleasure in a good tearjerking, this is something to keep on your radar.
Stay tuned for more updates!
