The pic was penned by Nick Hornby and has been developed from an early stage with BBC Films. The story is based on a piece of memoir by the celebrated British journalist Lynn Barber, and is billed as a teenage girl’s coming-of-age drama set in early 1960s London. Plot details the story of a 17-year-old girl whose suburban life is about to be blown apart by the utterly unsuitable arrival of a 30-something playboy.
The film will shoot in London in March and April.
