Blume has granted the rights to adapt Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret to producer James L. Brooks’ Gracie Films and Kelly Fremon Craig, according to Deadline.
One of Judy Blume’s most famous books is finally being adapted into a film, nearly 50 years after it was first published.
Fremon Craig made her directorial debut with the Hailiee Steinfeld-starring drama The Edge of Seventeen; she is set to both adapt and direct Blume’s book.
“It is this right of passage for women and girls,” Fremon Craig said.
