Actress Blake Lively is set to make her directorial debut with a feature film adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley graphic novel Seconds. O’Malley is best known for creating Scott Pilgrim. Edgar Wright, who directed Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is writing the script for the movie and producing.
The story centers on Katie Clay, “who receives the power to fix her past mistakes by writing them down in a notebook, eating a mushroom and falling asleep. Clay subsequently becomes too eager to fix every little aspect of her life and before long, her newfound ability begins to create ever-new problems that threaten not only to take her further and further from the life she initially had, but the very fabric of time and space itself.”
That certainly sounds like it’ll make for a crazy, fun, and entertaining movie! I think it’s pretty cool that Lively is going to be directing her first film and that she’s getting to team up with Edgar Wright for it. This is a great team of talent and I’m looking forward to seeing how Lively does with bringing this story to life. With Wright writing the film, we know the script is going to be solid.
What do you think about Lively and Wright teaming up for Seconds?
