Filmmaker Maggie Betts is now set to take over directorial duties for “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” on Netflix, following Leslye Headland’s exit from the production.
As a devoted cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that I, Betts, have some exciting projects coming up. One of them is “The Burial,” an engrossing legal drama produced by Amazon MGM, starring the remarkable talents of Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones. Another is “Novitiate,” a gripping drama from Sony Pictures Classic, which graced our screens in 2017. In addition to these, I’ll be collaborating with the brilliant Liz Tigelaar on the screenplay for an upcoming project. Her work on “Tiny Beautiful Things” and “Little Fires Everywhere” has left a profound impact, and I can’t wait to see what we create together!
Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s popular 2017 novel, “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” chronicles a legendary Hollywood figure as she grants her last interview to an up-and-coming reporter. In this revealing memoir, the secretive starlet exposes the real truth behind her notorious seven marriages and a host of juicy tales from Tinseltown, including scandals, betrayals, and hardships.
2022 saw Netflix acquire rights for a project based on a popular novel, but so far, it hasn’t moved forward. Fans have expressed their desire for Jessica Chastain to portray Evelyn Hugo in the title role, however, Chastain has stated that there’s no chance of this happening. As of now, the cast members have not been disclosed yet.
Reid is set to oversee the production of “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” along with Margaret Chernin. Liza Chasin for 3Dot Productions and Brad Mendelsohn from Circle Management + Productions (“Daisy Jones & The Six”) will also produce this project. Initial reports about Betts’ involvement in the production were made by Deadline Hollywood.
Lesley Headland, who co-created “Russian Doll” and is directing the upcoming “Star Wars” spinoff “The Acolyte,” recently shared with EbMaster that she’s no longer part of the adaptation. She expressed her continued admiration for the book and the team working on it, saying, “It’s one of those projects where you just know it’s going to be a massive hit. I was disappointed that it wouldn’t work out with me being involved, but I have no doubt it will be incredibly successful.
