Florence Pugh Starrer ‘The Midnight Library’ Heading For Cannes Market’s Biggest Deal With Multiple Studios Chasing

Garth Davis (‘Lion’) is directing:

>In the big-canvas “love letter to life,” Pugh will play Nora Seed, who finds herself in a library between life and death with the chance to experience all the potential lives she could have lived.

>We understand Paramount, Focus and Sony are in the mix for domestic and select international markets on the circa $70M movie, with producer-financier Studiocanal, which is selling the movie, expected to hold onto its territories.

This is one book where I hope it’s not a one to one adaptation. The premise was excellent, but the execution especially the end was lacking.

I just recently read this book!

I imagined Emma Mackey as the protagonist when I read it haha
