While one Colleen Hoover adaptation is doing great at the box office, another is adding new stars. Deadline has reported that Dave Franco will join the cast of “Regretting You,” the upcoming film based on Hoover’s novel. Mckenna Grace and Allison Williams will also appear in the film, with Williams playing Morgan and Grace portraying her daughter Clara.
This update comes as “It Ends With Us,” featuring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, has made $50 million in the U.S. and $30 million internationally, totaling $80 million, all on a $25 million budget.
