Netflix has acquired Mitch Albom's upcoming novel Twice "in a competitive situation," Variety reported. Paul Weitz (Fatherhood, Murderbot, About a Boy) will adapt and direct the film. He is also producing with Andrew Miano through their company, Depth of Field. The book will be be published on October 7 by Harper.
Twice "is a love story about magical second chances, Variety noted. "The novel asks: 'What if you got to do everything in your life--again?' That's the reality for Alfie Logan, who discovers the magical ability to undo any moment and live it again. The one catch... is that he must accept the consequences of his second try, for better or worse."
