The film will be directed by Andy Fickman (“She’s The Man,” “Parental Guidance”), and follows the moving love story of a woman unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiancé who has finally brought her back to life.

Though not yet attached to a distributor, production is set to begin after summer in Massachusetts. Willie Kutner, Fickman, Betsy Sullenger, Michael Jefferson and Sarah Finn are producing the project with the author’s husband, Alex Jenkins Reid. Adam Beasley is executive producing. Finn is also casting. CAA Media Finance is handling North American sales.

Jenkins Reid is best known for the NY Times Bestselling novel “Daisy Jones & The Six,” which is currently being adapted for TV by Hello Sunshine, Circle of Confusion and Amazon Studios. Her latest novel, “Malibu Rising,” was released on June 1. She is repped by WME, Stuart Rosenthal and Circle of Confusion.

Soo originated the role of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway sensation, earning her a Tony Award nomination and numerous other accolades.

Soo is repped by UTA and Authentic Talent and Literary Management.

In teasers and trailers, Liu has already stunned as Marvel Studios’ first Asian superhero and will see his full solo outing this September alongside Awkwafina, Tony Leung, Michelle Yeoh, and Ronnie Chieng. He is also a star of “Kim’s Convenience,” and recently wrapped production on “Arthur the King” at Lionsgate. He is repped by CAA, Authentic Literary & Talent Management and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.

Bracey won hearts last year opposite Emma Roberts in the Nielsen streaming ratings smash “Holidate” from Netflix. He’ll next be seen in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic alongside Tom Hanks and Austin Butler at Warner Bros. and opposite Elsa Pataky in the Netflix action thriller “Interceptor” from executive producer Chris Hemsworth. He is repped by CAA, Fourward and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher, LLP.
