Colleen Hoover Producing Adaptation of Ali Hazelwood's Bestseller LOVE, THEORETICALLY at Amazon MGM; Sofia Alvarez Directing
Author Colleen Hoover (It Ends With Us) has signed on to produce the film adaptation of New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood’s novel Love, Theoretically for Amazon MGM Studios.
Hoover will produce with her Heartbones Entertainment partner Lauren Levine alongside Max Siemers and Tanner Anderson for Magic Hour Entertainment.
Filmmaker Sofia Alvarez (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Along for the Ride) is directing the romantic comedy and will adapt the screenplay. She’ll also executive produce alongside Hazelwood.
The Berkley-published Love, Theoretically follows rival physicists who collide in a vortex of academic feuds and false identities.
The news comes in advance of the September 23 Prime Video premiere of the feature take of Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis, which stars Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman.
The movie was featured this past weekend at Prime Video’s all-day inaugural immersive event Obsessed Fest which brought fans face-to-face with the stars, creators and worlds behind the most buzzworthy YA, romance and book adaptation titles.
