The story follows the story of an aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon, Evelyn Hugo, who is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But she chooses an obscure reporter, Monique Grant, from an unknown publication to do this surprising the journalist community. Monique decides to make the best of the opportunity during a rough patch in life when her career has hit a wall and her husband has just left her.

So far, there has been no mention of who will be playing the two lead roles. However, it has been confirmed that Liz Tigelaar, creator and showrunner of the hit Hulu series Little Fires Everywhere will be adapting the book into the film. Liza Chasin for 3Dot Productions and Brad Mendelsohn for Circle of Confusion will be producing the film, as reported by Deadline.
Tigelaar is currently also adapting another of Reid's books. New York Times bestseller, Malibu Rising, is also being adapted for Hulu and 20th Century Television. Author Reid is on a role as her book Daisy Jones & the Six is another work that is being adapted into a series for Amazon.
