By Movieguide® Staff
Author Karen Kingsbury recently announced a new movie adaptation of her book, ‘Someone Like You,’ starring Sarah Fisher, Jake Allyn, Lynn Collins, and Robyn Lively.
Karen Kingsbury Productions announced that filming would start this October and be the company’s first book-to-movie adaptation.
Deadline reported:
Someone Like You is a love story with redemptive themes of family reconciliation, sacrifice, and beauty from tragedy, and is based on Kingsbury’s popular New York Times bestselling book by the same name. The film centers on a young woman with a beautiful life built on a lie who must sort out her past in order to fully embrace her future. Can she overcome and forgive the deception to reconcile with her family and accept the offer of unconditional love and healing?
“The casting process was very competitive, so I am thrilled with the talented actors who will bring Someone Like You to life,” Karen Kingsbury explained. “This brilliant team resonated deeply with the script and understands the heartfelt and redemptive message of the story. Every day is an adventure. Working with people who actually exist is very different than being buried in the pages of a novel. I’m loving it!”
