Mandalay gets their Lonely Hearts

Mandalay Pictures is getting their hands on the rights to the novel adaptation of The Lonely Hearts Club. Producing the film are Mandalay Pictures’ own Cathy Schulman and Peter Guber with Scarlett Lacy also acting as producer. The story revolves around a heartbroken teen comes to the conclusion that most high school boys are total jerks and declares herself founding member of said club, refusing to date again until graduation. Other girls quickly join, taking the same oath and forming a movement that throws the high school into an uproar (Variety).

The book is written by Elizabeth Eulberg who has worked a bit closely with one of the hottest writers out there today, Stephanie Meyer. No word on who could be looked at for directing or a release date.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
