The ‘Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow’ by Gabrielle Zevin Has Found Its Director!
If you’ve been with Maude’s Book Club for a while you know that one of our first books was Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.
Maude Garrett even interviewed her and told Zevin how much this book affected her. It’s a beautiful novel that many readers didn’t expect to love as much as they did. Zevin’s writing is a gut punch to the soul as she crafts a stunning relationship between two people.
Paramount Studios had acquired the rights to the book in 2021 before its publishing date in 2022. It has taken quite a bit of time to develop everything, news broke out over the weekend that has fans of the best-selling novel soaring.
On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn't heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won't protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.
Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before.
Maude Garrett’s Interview with Gabrielle Zevin
After trying to get a strong working script and push the adaptation into production Paramount has brought on Academy Award winner Siân Heder to direct the project. After watching Heder’s filmography, she can tenderly create intimate moments between her characters that are so raw.
She can evoke any emotion out of her actors to create that connection with her audience. It comes as a no-brainer that Heder would sign onto a book adaptation like Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow for that exact reason.
The book adaptation will dive into the rise of the video game industry in the 1990s-2000s. Not only will this film appeal to avid fans, but general audiences will hopefully show up because of the story between creative collaborators and childhood friends.
