Anna Kendrick is set to direct the film adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's acclaimed novel, 'The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo,' for Netflix. This follows the success of Kendrick's directorial debut, 'Woman of The Hour,' which garnered significant attention at the Toronto Film Festival. The film will focus on a young journalist's interview with Evelyn Hugo, an aging Hollywood star, who reveals the intricacies of her seven marriages and the scandals of her life. Liza Chasin is producing the film alongside Brad Mendelsohn and David Hinojosa. The screenplay was initially drafted by Liz Tigelaar, with Francesca Sloane currently revising it. Jenkins Reid, whose works have sold over 24 million copies worldwide, will also serve as an executive producer. Kendrick remains active in acting, with an upcoming role in the A24 film 'Misty Green,' directed by Chris Rock. The adaptation is highly anticipated, given the popularity of Reid's novel, which has received widespread acclaim and a strong social media presence.
