THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END.
Chris Van Dusen will adapt the story about Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio who find out that they’re going to die today. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day. The novel is a devastating yet uplifting story about two people whose lives change over the course of one unforgettable day. The book also got a prequel earlier this Autumn.

I read Hardacre in another century ad other galaxy. If they don't go all woke and all diverse, it could be as riveting as Poldark.
ReplyDeleteThey might not go that way given this is Channel 5 whose popularity jumped recently exactly for not being woke.
DeleteI might watch They Both Die At The End.
ReplyDeleteDepending on the casting.
DeleteTHEY BOTH DIE AT THE END sounds like a good one. We just watched the remake of All Quiet on the Western Front yesterday....too much killing for me.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't handle that one, too much suffering in it, but it is sweeping all possible awards currently.
DeleteThey both die at the end pissed me off, so I won’t be watching that one. A lot of good it does to change your life in a single day when you’re going to be dead at the end of it.
ReplyDeleteBut you die peacefully, no? Tis better to die loved than not even if you find love the very last day.
