Every Colin Hoover movie comes after he’s done with us

Although The (Ongoing) Drama Surrounding ‘It Ends With Us’ — most notably, the film’s stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, the latter of whom also directed the film — and the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s 2016 best-selling novel of the same name has received plenty of Of criticism at the box office when it was released in the summer of 2024. Why am I talking about the financial success of the film amid The alleged apparent conflict between Baldoni and Lively? Because studio execs probably saw “It Ends With Us” crush the box office in the summer and thought, “What other Colleen Hoover books can we adapt?”

As for Hoover herself, she worked closely with the It Ends With Us team to create the film — and was fully present during the press tour — telling Hollywood Reporter She loved seeing her work adapted for the screen. “It’s very surreal,” Hoover said in August 2024. “I think it’s all emotions. I’m able to separate them, in the sense that I see the book and the movie as two completely separate things. But at the same time, I think they did a good job of turning this book into a movie and I Very happy with this modification.”

Hoover is a prolific writer, all things considered – So it’s not at all surprising that many of her other novels have also been made into films. (In fact, it’s surprising that, as of this writing, only a few have been chosen, since they have so many to choose from.) Some of them even have Oscar winners and other huge names, so at this point, it looks like Cullen’s world The cinematic Hoover is about to really take off. Here are all of Hoover’s projects coming after the huge success of “It Ends With Us.”

Before It Ends With Us hit theaters — in May 2024 — it was announced that another of Colleen Hoover’s successful novels, Verity, was in development… and with It Ends With Us proving… Its success. A huge hit at the box office, “The Truth” was a success. In late November of that year, Delivery time exclusively announced the news that Anne Hathaway will star in a film adaptation of “Verity,” reuniting with director Michael Showalter after the two collaborated on Hathaway’s romantic comedy “The Idea of ​​You” in 2024. (Showalter is also known for “The Big Sick,” “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” and “Hot and Humid American Summer.”) A month later, diverse She revealed that Josh Hartnett and Dakota Johnson will join the Oscar winner (i.e. Hathaway, who won the supporting actress award for 2012’s “Les Misérables”) in the film. So, what is “The Truth” about, and who do these three powerful actors play?

Hathaway is set to play Verity Crawford, a best-selling author who becomes completely paralyzed after an accident and needs someone to write her works; Hartnett will portray Jeremy Crawford, Verity’s husband who searches for the aforementioned ghost writer and finds struggling author Llewyn Ashley (Johnson). To be honest, the way Verity’s story unfolds is on the predictable side, but with Showalter at the helm and a very talented trio in the lead, “Verity” at least has a good chance of being good. So when can we expect it? There’s no set release date yet, but it probably won’t be long.

At the end of August 2024. Delivery time Reportedly, Josh Boone — best known for directing the dystopian teen drama “The Fault in Our Stars,” which was released in 2014 — has signed on to direct an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s other hit, “Regretting You.” “When I read Regretting You, I was captivated by the characters and knew we needed to partner with an amazing cast to make it real,” Boone said in a statement to the outlet. “I am thrilled to have my old and new friends join me in bringing Colleen Hoover’s novel to the screen.” By “old friends” Boone refers to some of his production partners… but who are the “new” friends, and who do they play in the film?

“Regretting You” will lead Allison Williams (“Girls,” “Get Out,” “M3GAN”) as Morgan Grant, who gave birth to baby Clara (Mckenna Grace, known for the recent “Ghostbusters” films) at a young age and struggles with motherhood as Clara becomes a teenager. . When a mother and daughter speak with a terrible accent, things become more difficult for them. Dave Franco and Mason Thames (“How to Train Your Dragon”) will also appear in the film as Jonah and Miller, respectively; According to previous Deadline reports, principal photography will begin in March 2025.

Unlike other Colleen Hoover projects in the works, there’s no casting information regarding an adaptation of her book Reminders of Him — but this one He does Have a release date. according to Hollywood Reporterwhich was reported to be filmed in October of 2024, and “Reminders of Him” is scheduled to be released on February 13, 2026… just in time for Valentine’s Day. Hoover will write the screenplay alongside her creative partner and producer, Lauren Levine, and the film also Be the first under the banner of Hoover’s production company, Heartbones Entertainment.

“I’m excited because Reminders of Him holds a special place in my heart as well,” Hoover told THR in a statement when the film was announced. “I feel confident that Universal is the right partner to do this story justice. What better way to launch Heartbones Entertainment, my company with producing partner Lauren Levine? Our goal is to create something completely special for everyone.” So what’s up with the “remind it” thing? The story focuses on Kina Rowan, a mother of a four-year-old girl who is trying to reunite with her daughter after spending five years in prison. When she returns to her small town, the only person she can communicate with is Ledger Ward, her late husband’s best friend. The two keep their relationship a secret as everyone assumes the worst about Kenna. The roles of Kenna and Ledger haven’t been cast yet, but if the cast of “Verity” and “Regretting You” is any indication, the agents of several Hollywood stars are fighting over those roles right now.
