Daisy Edgar-Jones In Talks To Star In Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow Adaptation

Deadline has shared the news that Normal People and Twisters star Daisy Edgar-Jones is approaching official casting in the film adaptation of Gabrielle Zevin’s 2022 book Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, as released by Paramount Pictures and directed by CODA director Siân Heder.

The adaptation’s screenplay has reportedly been a collaboration between Heder and Mark Bomback, who have screenwriting credits on 2013’s The Wolverine and the Divergent’s Insurgent installment from 2015.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow’s official synopsis reads as charting “…the relationship between two friends who begin a successful video game company together.”

According to Deadline, it “….explores the intimacy, passion and heartbreak of creative collaboration, set against the visually groundbreaking worlds brought to life by the rising video game industry of the 1990s-2000s.”

The book is Zevin’s tenth piece of work and has sold over 4 million copies globally, earning a year long spot on the New York Times bestseller list, with the NYC Book Review citing it as “delightful and absorbing” and “expansive and entertaining” and also being ranked #76 by the outlet for its 100 Best Books of the 21st Century list.
