According to Deadline, a movie based on Thomas’ On the Come Up is in the works at Fox.
On The Come Up, which is in stores today via HarperCollins imprint Balzer & Bray, tells the story of 16-year-old Bri, who aspires to be one of the greatest rappers of all time.
George Tillman Jr., who produced The Hate U Give, will be directing the film.
Author Angie Thomas, whose book The Hate U Give was adapted into a film starring Amandla Stenberg last year, is getting another one of her works made into a movie.
