EXCLUSIVE: J. Mills Goodloe has been hired to adapt Michael Thompson’s novel How To Be Remembered into a feature film. MRC will finance and Elizabeth Cantillon will produce.

Every year on Tommy’s birthday, the world around him forgets he exists. He grows up enduring his own annual reset, becoming a stranger to the people in his life year after year. That is until something extraordinary happens: Tommy Llewellyn falls in love.

Determined to carve out a life that can withstand the reset, Tommy must find a way to rebuild and maintain his great love through whatever means necessary.

Goodloe is in post-production on Days When the Rains Came, which he co-wrote and directed. He also sold a modern adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby for Amazon.

His produced credits include Netflix’s To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, Fox 2000’s Mountains Between Us, Warner Bros‘ Everything, Everything and Lionsgate’s Age of Adaline.

He was repped in the deal by Brillstein Entertainment Partners. His lawyer is Bianca Bezdek-Goodloe.
