Actress Blake Lively (A Simple Favor) is set to make her directorial debut with Seconds, an adaptation of the graphic novel from Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley with a screenplay written by Scott Pilgrim vs The World director Edgar Wright.
O’Malley wrote and illustrated Seconds in 2014 as a follow-up to his Scott Pilgrim saga. The story follows “Katie Clay, who receives the power to fix her past mistakes by writing them down in a notebook, eating a mushroom and falling asleep. Clay subsequently becomes too eager to fix every little aspect of her life and before long, her newfound ability begins to create ever-new problems that threaten not only to take her further and further from the life she initially had, but the very fabric of time and space itself.”
Seconds will mark Lively’s feature film debut as a director after she directed the Taylor Swift music video ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ last year. Wright will produce the film alongside Marc Platt.
