“Beach Read”
“Beach Read” is said to be in development for a film adaptation at Disney’s 20th Century Studios, which was first announced in 2023.
Yulin Kuang, who co-wrote the People We Meet on Vacation movie, has been attached to write and direct the “Beach Read” adaptation. If you missed it, find out who has been cast in the leading roles!
Here’s a synopsis: Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.
They’re polar opposites.
In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they’re living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer’s block.
Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.
