Fans of Colleen Hoover are just beginning to fill theaters to see It Ends With Us, and they already have another adaptation to anticipate. Deadline announced that Regretting You, another popular book by the author, is set to become a movie.
The production is moving quickly, with Allison Williams (M3GAN) expected to star. This movie will focus on a complex mother-daughter relationship that develops over the years.
It’s no surprise that Hoover’s books are gaining attention. It Ends With Us, featuring Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) in the main role, has already become a major hit at the box office. Its success might lead fans to explore more of Hoover’s stories on screen and attract new readers to her books.
Fans may be drawn to Regretting You because it shares similar themes with It Ends With Us. While the movie with Blake Lively addresses issues like gaslighting and toxic relationships, Regretting You delves into generational conflicts that become more intense after a tragedy.
In the story, Williams will play Morgan Grant, a woman who became a mother young and had to pause her own life to raise her child. Their relationship becomes strained during the child’s teenage years and worsens when Morgan’s husband dies in an accident.
Who’s Behind Regretting You?
Even though Regretting You is moving forward quickly, more details about the project, including additional cast members, are not yet available. We do know that Susan McMartin will write the script, and Josh Boone will direct.
McMartin has written for the long-running series Mom and adapted the best-selling novel After in 2019. Boone is known for his adaptation of the popular book The Fault In Our Stars.
Colleen Hoover is a highly productive writer, with over four book series and more than a dozen titles. This abundance of work makes her a popular choice for Hollywood adaptations, similar to Stephen King, Harlan Coben, and Nicholas Sparks.
