Is anyone else getting sick and tired of book adaptations?! No? Just me then? Yes, news has surfaced that romantic drama novel ME BEFORE YOU, written by British author Jojo Moyes, is to be turned into a film.
With MGM quickly snapping up the rights to the book, it won’t be long before we can announced who has been cast. In the meantime, you can read the official synopsis below:
Lou Clark knows a lot of things. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop, and she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live, and now everything feels small and joyless. What Will doesn’t know is that Lou is about to burst into his world. And neither of them knows they’re going to change the other for all time.
MGM’s president Jonathan Glickman has said that the studio are ‘thrilled’ to be working with Moyes and the book is ‘one of the most unique, emotional and engaging love stories written in recent years’. When asked about this recent development, Moyes replied:
“I could not be more excited about MGM and their plans for ME BEFORE YOU. The studio is so passionate about the book and I’m thrilled that a story that seems to have come alive in so many readers’ imaginations is about to have a whole new life on-screen.”
I’m really not a fan of soppy, ’emotional’ novels aimed directly at women, but the book has been given over 2,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, so maybe I should give it a go. Have you read it? What do you think about this news?
