Before I Fall: Film News!

Guess what, guess what? Before I Fall finally has a director...Gina Prince-Bythewood, the fabulous director of the wonderful, subtle, and sophisticated "The Secret Life of Bees." Read all about it here.

I am so very excited to see the treatment the script, and the film, will receive at Gina's hands. We're still not quite at the casting stage yet, as Gina wants to put her spin on the script, but keep your fingers (and toes!) crossed.

Why do YOU want to see BIF as a movie?

My answer? So I can wear a fab dress on the red carpet! :)

So awesome! Why do I want to see Before I Fall as a movie? Hhmm maybe because it was a can't-put-down type of read that had my mind thinking and left me wanting more in life when I was done.

Now I want to go re-read it!

I want to see Before I Fall as a movie because not only was it really well written as a book, but the concept/story itself is really unique. One of a kind!

How exciting! So excited for you.

Evie said...

sooo excited. but id really love delirium to become a movie more. it would be soooo good. i know a million people who would go to see it! Have u ever listened to charlene soraia's 'wherever u will go' whilst reading the ending of delirium? it makes the ending so much sader (but i like sad endings!). Anyway, if delirium was made into a film, that song would have to be played!!! its perfect. when does bif come out then? cant wait! its a great excuse for me and mi mates to go out. lolza

Megan said...

FINALLY, someone takes a good book and makes it into a movie. i would love to see BIF as a movie because the book was absolutely perfect and it would make an excellent movie! (:

How exciting, many congratulations! All throughout reading BIF, I was thinking, "This would make such an awesome movie. :) Can't wait!

This is amazing! I read Before I Fall earlier in the year and your book blew my mind. I'm really interested in seeing it on the screen and hope if things move forward, that the film does your book justice.

Celeste said...

Loved the book, I can't wait for the movie!

Ainsley Shay said...

Congratulations!!!! That's awesome news!!! Can't wait to see it, and you in your "fab" dress on the red carpet!!

*Toes and fingers crossed : )*

So I can take my best friend Sam (who was a high school senior last year) to see it and laugh at her THE ENTIRE TIME.
But actually, this book is incredibly fantabulous, and I am just DYING to see how it will be interpreted for the big screen :)

jenny kamara said...

i hope she doesnt change the script too drastically, for we the fans fell in love with the book just as it is, thank you :)

Joyanna said...

when is it coming i cant wait to text all my friends!!! there the ones who made me read it, and that was the BEST thing they made me do WHEN DOES IT COME OUT!!!!!

Joyanna said...

the only thing im worried about is it ending up like the hunger games that was a horrible movie but a good book so please make the book exactly like the movie and have a sequil or somthing it wold be bad if it leaves out a hole bunch of parts like the hunger games did, DONT MAKE ME SAD!!! but other than that i am tottaly exited and it should be a movie because i really whant 2 c day 6 it is an awesome book and now it SHOULD be a better movie

Lauren said...

I'm glad they're making Before I Fall a movie instead of Delirium, though Delirium may have it's day. I like that BIF is a single movie, and so it doesn't have to be dragged out into a bunch of different movies in order to tell the whole beautiful story.

ElenitsaT said...

Reading this book was such an amazing experience (especially the end of day 5 <3 ) so I can't wait for the film to come out...I want to feel this excitement again please...

ElenitsaT said...

I am so addicted to that book that I wish there was a sequel... Perhaps something about Samantha's after-life and her struggle to return... I loved the love story with Kent... Please release a sequel... <3

ElenitsaT said...

When will pandemonium be translated in Greek? I have almost finished Delirium and can't wait...

betsy dulle said...

Unknown said...

I can't believe BEFORE I FALL is having a FILM ADAPTATION!!! I am so excited!!! I hope the movie's going to be as good as the book. I absolutely love the book-- I hope that the cast won't ruin my imagination. I hope KENT and SAM have this 'zing', perfect chemistry... :D

this boook is soooo good im so glad that they are going to make a movie out of it. this is the first book to make me cry. lauren does an AMAZING job at getting the reader connected with all of the characters that the reader reacts easily when something happends to one of the charaacters. 5/5 stars... great book. i hope this movie will come out soon!!!

Unknown said...

Before I fall was so captivating. I could not put it down. When I finally finished the book, I literally was upset that it was over. I had a bad day because of it! Is that too obsessed? Oh well! I cannot wait to see the movie!! Also, I think everyone should look at the IMBD fantasy cast for this movie... It's kinda perfect.

Unknown said...

Also, while reading other comments, I discovered that I totally agree with the fact that Sam and Kent need to have killer chemistry. I hate it when the movie ruins the book. I actually think that the twilight directors and cast did a wonderful job at captivating the story and really running with it and showing all of its potential. So I really wish that this movie would do the same in the fact that everyone needs to develop into their character and really feel the emotions.

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

I hope the movie is still in progress! I love love loved Before I Fall, cried myself a river! I'm as going to force myself to sit in the theater chair when it comes out even though I (and my fellow movie goers) won't be able to hear anything thing since I will in the back... wailing like a baby. So excited!!

Before I Fall is a truly inspirational book. It was written so beautifully. If you read even just one page out loud the words seem to flow with this lovely liquidity that pulls you in. I've read it twice already and turn to it any time I need strength. I read it to help myself value what I so often take advantage of every day. This book deserves to by brought to life in film. So many people miss out on what the book is trying to say because so many people do not enjoy reading. Everyone needs to experience the beauty in this book. The only thing I ask is that whoever participates in the creation of this movie decides to incorperate the same wonderful narration into the film that was experiences through the book. Perhaps actrually have a narrator? Like what was done in The Great Gatsby. Also, I hope that you would not try and change the book. So often do people attempt to make it "more relatable" for the younger generation. This only decreases the quality of the work. I hope that everything will be incorperated in a very authentic way. I greatly look forward to seeing Samantha Kingston come to life.
