As a fervent admirer of both captivating stories and exceptional talent, I am thrilled to witness the convergence of these two elements in the forthcoming adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel “Regretting You.” With its poignant narrative and the stellar cast led by Mckenna Grace and Allison Williams, this project promises to be a masterpiece that will undoubtedly resonate with audiences worldwide.
Following the success of “It Ends With Us” at the box office, Hollywood is eyeing further profits as another book by Colleen Hoover is set to be adapted, attracting rising star Mckenna Grace after her role in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire”. The popularity of Hoover’s 2016 novel, “It Ends with Us”, surged in 2021 due to TikTok. Initially underestimated during summer predictions, the film is now projected to earn over $50 million during its opening weekend and is in fierce competition for top spot at the weekend box office against Ryan Reynolds’s hit movie “Deadpool & Wolverine”, starring his wife Blake Lively.
As reported by Deadline, McKenna Grace, renowned for her roles as Phoebe Spengler in Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, and seen in films like Gifted, is set to share the screen with Allison Williams in a film adaptation of Hoover’s 2019 novel Regretting You. This movie will be directed by Josh Boone, who previously worked on The Fault in Our Stars and New Mutants. In this film, McKenna Grace will play Clara, while Allison Williams portrays Morgan Grant. The story revolves around the intricate relationship between Morgan, a mother who postponed her dreams to raise Clara at a young age, and Clara. Their bond becomes strained following a tragic accident that claims the life of Chris, Clara’s father and Morgan’s husband.
Colleen Hoover’s Books Could Be The Next Big Thing
Colleen Hoover, a modern author who’s known for stirring up both admiration and debate, gained significant attention with her novel It Ends With Us, sparking particularly heated discussions about its portrayal of domestic abuse. Initially published in 2016, the book saw a surge in popularity more recently, claiming the top spot as the best-selling novel of both 2022 and 2023. The New York Times reported that Hoover’s books have sold over 20 million copies in 2022 alone, with anticipation building for another sales boom following It Ends With Us‘s success on the big screen. Given the current demand from studios seeking the next big hit, numerous novels by Hoover – both series installments and standalone stories – are poised for adaptation as they aim to capitalize on the upcoming gold rush.
The movie “Regretting You” undeniably boasts a wealth of talent. Given Josh Boone’s proven track record directing the young adult novel adaptation “The Fault in Our Stars“, he seems perfectly suited to bring “Regretting You” to life on screen. Simultaneously, critically acclaimed actors Allison Williams and Mckenna Grace are expected to generate substantial buzz for this project. At only 18 years old, Mckenna Grace has already carved out an impressive career with roles in “Once Upon a Time“, “I, Tonya“, and “Captain Marvel“. Moreover, she’s also ventured into screenwriting and established her own production company. Joining the cast of “Regretting You” seems like a decision that Mckenna Grace is unlikely to look back on with regret.
