NEW ADAPTATIONS: 'PEOPLE WE HATE AT THE WEDDING' TO BECOME A MOVIE, 'THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ' TO BECOME TV SERIES

'PEOPLE WE HATE AT WEDDING'
TO BE TURNED INTO A MOVIE
Michael de Luca is producing the adaptation
New book adaptations for you today! 'Deadline' reports that Grant Ginder's comedy novel THE PEOPLE WE HATE AT THE WEDDING will be turned into a movie by three time Oscar nominated producer Michael de Luca.
THE PEOPLE WE HATE AT THE WEDDING follows struggling siblings Alice and Paul, who reluctantly agree to attend the wedding of their estranged half-sister in the English countryside. Over the course of the wedding week, the family’s many skeletons are wrenched from the closet, and the unlikely family reunion gives Alice and Paul the motivation to move their own lives forward.

'THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ'
TO BECOME TELEVISION SERIES
Synchronicity Films is producing the series
Also getting an adaptation, but a small screen one is World War II book THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ by Heather Morris which is to be turned into an international series with an aim for it to start airing in January 2020 at the 75th anniversary of the camp's liberation.
THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ tells the true story of Lale Sokolov, a Jewish prisoner who was given the job of tattooing identification numbers on prisoners’ arms in the Auschwitz Birkenau concentration camp during World War Two. One day, he met Gita while she was waiting in line to be tattooed and it was love at first sight. And so began one of the most life-affirming, courageous, unforgettable and human stories of the Holocaust and a tale of the very best of humanity in the very worst of circumstances.

  2. I bet that would be an interesting series. I recall seeing my husband's Grandmother's tattoo. It had three sevens in it. She figured it was lucky, so she'd survive. She was right.

  3. I just added both titles to my hold list at the library. Two very different books, but interesting in their own right, I'm sure. Like Debra, I usually like to read the book before the film comes out.

    1. Me too, although it is also interesting to read a book after you heard about it from its movie adaptation.
