EXCLUSIVE: Following a competitive auction, Lionsgate has optioned the New York Times bestselling novel ‘This Time To Tomorrow,’ with Jason Moore to direct and produce the project
“Emma’s novel is tender and funny, life-affirming and poignant, sweet and nostalgic, deep and rich. There’s no relationship more fraught than that between parent and child, and it only gets more so as the years go by. Jason is the perfect director for this project – he can present the big, fascinating ideas, and then drill down into the emotional center to change your whole perspective.
The book centers on Alice, who’s about to turn 40 and caring for her ailing father. When she wakes up in 1996, reliving her 16th birthday, it isn’t her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high school crush – it’s her dad: the vital, charming, 40-something version of her father with whom she is reunited. Now armed with a new perspective on her own life and his, past events take on new meaning.
“I’m so excited to re-team with Lionsgate and Todd and Alex at Mandeville to bring Emma’s extraordinary book to audiences. It’s a hilariously funny, ingenious, and deeply moving look at the way time is our most precious commodity; and how we spend it makes all the difference in who we become and how we are remembered,” Moore said.
