EXCLUSIVE: Sony Pictures Entertainment has fallen hard for
Love Everlasting. The film adaptation of the comic book series written by
Tom King has
Room helmer
Lenny Abrahamson attached to direct, and
Jane Goldman writing the script.
Emma Watts and Element’s Ed Guiney are producing.
King, the co-creator/EP of
Lanterns and whose comic book work is the basis for
WandaVision and the upcoming Craig Gillespie-directed
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, co-created the
Love Everlasting comic series with illustrator
Elsa Charretier. It is described as a mix of
Groundhog Day and
Quantum Leap with sci-fi and horror elements. The protagonist is Joan Peterson, a heroine who begins in the mold of how woman are often portrayed in romance comics: with the major goal to fall in love. Only here, each time she reaches that plateau, Joan finds herself abruptly shifted into a new time period and setting with new obstacles and the task of overcoming them to fall in love with a different man. Finally, she begins to question what she wants out of her life and tries to figure out a way to take control of her own destiny, one that doesn’t necessarily require the love of a man to complete her.
