The popular BookTok trend is now extending to the big screen with Netflix. Just before the premiere of the movie People We Meet on Vacation, based on Emily Henry’s novel, Netflix announced it will also adapt two more of her books into romantic comedies: Funny Story and Happy Place. Emily Henry will write the screenplays for both films; Happy Place, originally planned as a TV series, will now be a movie. Henry expressed her excitement to Tudum, saying she’s thrilled to continue working with Netflix, who have been incredibly supportive of her work from the start. She’s especially happy to be writing the scripts herself and feels fortunate to have found a team that believes in the importance of stories like hers.
Henry is working on bringing two more of her popular books to the big screen: Beach Read and Book Lovers. Beach Read will be directed by Yulin Kuang, who also co-wrote the screenplay for People We Meet on Vacation. For Book Lovers, Sarah Heyward, a writer from the show Girls, is writing the script, though a director hasn’t been announced yet. Fans of the books should get ready to share their thoughts on Letterboxd!
