Paramount Acquires Film Rights to Florence Pugh’s ‘The Midnight Library’
Paramount has secured the film rights to The Midnight Library, a fantasy drama starring Florence Pugh, in one of the biggest deals to emerge from this year’s film market.
Based on the bestselling novel by Matt Haig, the film will be directed by Garth Davis and is expected to begin production in early 2027.
The story follows Nora Seed, a woman who finds herself in a mysterious library between life and death, where she is given the chance to explore the many lives she could have lived through different choices.
The screenplay is being adapted by Laura Wade and Nick Payne, while the author will serve as an executive producer. The novel, first published in 2020, has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide.
The project is being developed as a major international production, with filming preparations set to begin later this year.
