LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE Creator Liz Tigelaar to Adapt THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO Into Netflix Film
Liz Tigelaar, creator of the Hulu series Little Fires Everywhere, has signed on to star in the movie adaptation of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The story “follows reclusive Hollywood legend Evelyn Hugo, who chooses an unknown reporter, Monique Grant, to tell her life story. Evelyn recounts her time in the Golden Age of Hollywood, her rise to fame, and her seven marriages — revealing stunning secrets and lies. But through it all one question remains: Why has she chosen Monique for her final confession?”
The film project is set up at Netflix, but is just in development stages, so we will have to wait a bit to hear more.
Tigelaar is also adapting another of Reid’s New York Times bestsellers, Malibu Rising, for Hulu and 20th Century Television. Tigelaar is serving as EP on Malibu Rising, with Amy Talkington writing. That story “centers around the Riva family and surfer siblings Nina, Jay Hud and Kit, as well as their mother June and their father, the famous singer Mick Riva. It takes place over the twenty-four hours leading up to Nina Riva’s infamous Riva Party, but it is also a culmination of generations of secrets and traumas.”
