The tables are about to turn on Judy Blume. After decades spent crafting tales of girlhood and adolescence, the best-selling author is about to become the subject of a story about her own life.
Davina Pardo and Leah Wolchok—the team behind the Emmy-winning 2016 documentary Very Semi-Serious—have signed on to direct and produce the film with Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, and Marcella Steingart. Brian Grazer and Ron Howard will serve as executive producers.
Blume, now 85 years old, has published more than 25 novels. She has sold over 82 million copies and translated into 32 languages. A movie adaptation of her most well-known title, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, is currently in the works.
