Lizzy Greene (Ransom Canyon) and Harry Collett (House of the Dragon) will star in Easy, a film adaptation of the bestselling novel by Tammara Webber. Deadline reported that Australian director and producer Luke Eve (I Met A Girl) is helming the project, which recently wrapped principal photography in Malta.
Producers are Ryan Hamilton (Hotel Mumbai, Possessor), Addam Bramich (Poker Face, Ice Fall, Shiver) and Volodymyr Artemenko (A Working Man, Wife and Dog, Shiver) as well as author Anna Todd (Shiver), whose writing credits include the YA romance series After.
Webber self-published Easy in 2012, and its publishing rights "were snapped up by Penguin/Razorbill for the U.K. and Penguin/Berkley for the U.S. and the novel has also since been translated into more than 20 languages," Deadline noted.
"We optioned Easy many years ago as we adored Tammara's book and we are very proud to bring this project to life with Luke at the helm and we couldn't have imagined a better Jacqueline and Lucas in Lizzy and Harry," said Hamilton.
Webber, who wrote another three novels in what became the Contours of the Heart series, said, "I'm thrilled to have Lizzy and Harry take my lead characters from page to screen under Luke's skilled guidance and vision. What a spectacular team."
