In recent years, many books have become highly successful films, such as the Harry Potter or Twilight sagas. Thinking of other more modest but also bestsellers, there are, for example, "Eat Pray Love", with the great Julia Roberts at the helm. Precisely, she will be the protagonist of "Fool Me Once", a film-bestseller that will begin to be produced soon.
In fact, it will be Red Om Films, a label owned by Julia Roberts herself, who will be in charge of the production of the adaptation of "Fool Me Once". Of course, it will do so from the hand of Entertainment One and Tooley Productions. The actress will not only be the protagonist, but also a producer with Lisa Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill.
What is "Fool Me Once" about?
"Fool Me Once" is a thriller written by Harlan Coben that became one of the best New York Times bestsellers. The story centers on Maya, a former special operations pilot who sees her daughter playing with her husband, who he was supposedly murdered two weeks ago. The adventure that follows that moment will be an exciting and twisted madness in which Maya tries to discover what is and is not real.
Of course, Maya will be played by Julia Roberts, who has said of this project that:
The genre of "Fool Me Once" is one of my favorites. Harlan Coben has created an exceptional story and an incredible female lead character. Mr. Coben and I see things in a similar way, and at Red Om Films we are simply delighted to have this creative opportunity together with Tucker and eOne.
At the moment there are no more details about the project, but it is intended to be developed for its filming and premiere for next year. We will continue to report on the new developments that arise around «Fool Me Once».
