Hamilton star Phillipa Soo, Shang Chi topliner Simu Liu, and Holidate charmer Luke Bracey have signed on to star in One True Loves, an indie love story that will be directed by Andy Fickman.
The feature project adapts the novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid and is aiming for a production start in fall 2021 in Massachusetts.
The script, by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Alex Jenkins Reid, centers on a woman unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiance who has finally brought her back to life.
Fickman, the veteran director of movies such as She’s the Man and shows such as Kevin Can Wait, is producing along with Willie Kutner, Betsy Sullenger, Michael Jefferson and Sarah Finn. (Finn, who is the casting director of Marvel Studios movies, will also handle casting for the project.) Exec producing are the Jenkins Reids and Adam Beasley.
