No stranger to adaptations of novels, Hailee Steinfeld is making a deal to star in another. She’s leading the cast for a new film based on supernatural romantic young adult thriller Break My Heart 1,000 Times.
Daniel Waters – not the one who wrote Heathers – is the author behind this one, creating the story of a world in which a cataclysmic event leaves the barrier between our world and that of the dead torn asunder. The result is ghost-like essences of the deceased known as “Remnants” becoming part of every day life. But after years of relatively peaceful life together, one of the Remnants sends a young woman (Steinfeld) a threatening message, spurring her on a mission that will change her life.
Jason Fuchs wrote the adaptation and Step Up Revolution director Scott Speer is aboard to call the shots for what Gold Circle films is hoping might spawn a franchise.
Steinfeld will next be on our screens in Pitch Perfect 2, out on May 15. She’s also worked on Barely Lethal and Vince Vaughn’s graphic novel adaptation Term Life, both of which have yet to lock in UK release dates.
