Here's everything you need to know about Lili Reinhart's The Love Hypothesis, coming to theaters soon.
Is The Love Hypothesis being turned into a movie?
Yes, we're finally getting a The Love Hypothesis movie, based on Ali Hazelwood's 2021 book of the same name.
"Honestly, I still can’t believe this is happening?" Ali said in a statement to Deadline. "Elizabeth Cantillon, Claire Scanlon, and Lili Reinhart have all created, produced, or starred in works that I’m absolutely feral about, and I am beyond honored that they’re choosing to bring their talent to this project. Books and films are very different media, and I have complete trust in this brilliant team. I cannot wait to see the final product they’ll come up with. I hope they have as much fun filming as I had while writing the book.”
