Lionsgate just optioned the rights to adapt The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.The company has enlisted JT Mollner ( The Long Walk to write and direct the adaptation.
"JT is a filmmaker we believe has a bright future," said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group president Erin Westerman. "Throughout his work, he creates characters, and especially young characters, that are so compelling, heartbreaking, and emotional that they pop off the screen. And of course, that's what Stephen King does on the page as well. The story of survival and perseverance in The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is timeless. We've loved this tale for a long time, and JT is the perfect choice to adapt and direct this King fan favorite."
