The movie is directed by Brian Duffield, who is co-writing the script with the book’s author, Daniel Kraus. Production is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles next week.

Rudd is known for her roles in Netflix’s live-action One Piece, which reached No. 1 in 84 countries, and the Fear Street trilogy. The film’s production team includes Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody, and Allan Mandelbaum for Imagine Entertainment.
