Deadline is reporting that Sony Pictures is bringing comic book writer Tom King’s Love Everlasting to the big screen with a feature film adaptation from Room director Lenny Abrahamson and Kingsman screenwriter Jane Goldman.
Co-created by King and artist Elsa Charretier and published through Image Comics, Love Everlasting is described as “a mix of Groundhog Day and Quantum Leap with sci-fi and horror elements”.
The story follows Joan Peterson, “a heroine who begins in the mold of how women often are portrayed in romance comics: with the major goal to fall in love. Only here, each time she reaches that plateau, Joan finds herself abruptly shifted into a new time period and setting with new obstacles and the task of overcoming them to fall in love with a different man. Finally, she begins to question what she wants out of her life and tries to figure out a way to take control of her own destiny, one that doesn’t necessarily require the love of a man to complete her.”
The feature film adaptation of Love Everlasting is being produced by Emma Watts (Keeper of the Lost Cities) and Ed Guiney (Poor Things).
