Earlier this year, it was announced that Christy Hall, co-creator and executive producer of the recent Netflix series I Am Not Okay With This, is adapting Stephen King‘s 1999 novel The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon into a feature film, and now, we’ve learned who will be helming the project.
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon follows nine-year-old Trisha McFarland who strays from the path while she and her recently divorced mother and brother take a hike along a branch of the Appalachian Trail. Lost for days, wandering farther and farther astray, Trisha has only her portable radio for comfort. A huge fan of Tom Gordon, a Boston Red Sox relief pitcher, she listens to baseball games and fantasizes that her hero will save her. Nature isn’t her only adversary, though – something dangerous may be tracking Trisha through the dark woods.”
