Thea Sharrock, acclaimed for her work on 'Me Before You', has been appointed to direct Lionsgate's film adaptation of 'The Things We Leave Unfinished', a bestselling romance novel by Rebecca Yarros. The project is produced by Todd Lieberman through Hidden Pictures, which has a history of successful adaptations, including 'The Housemaid', which grossed nearly USD 400 million worldwide. The narrative follows a woman who returns to her hometown in the Rocky Mountains after a public divorce and teams up with a bestselling author to finish her great-grandmother's World War II love story. As they delve into family secrets, a romantic connection develops between them. The screenplay is adapted by Arash Amel, and Yarros is also an executive producer. Lionsgate continues to enhance its portfolio of literary adaptations, with other projects like 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' on the horizon. Erin Westerman, president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, praised Sharrock's emotional storytelling ability, affirming her as the ideal choice for this poignant tale.
