Amy Adams star continues to rise, and now comes news that Hollywood loves her so much that they want her to be in movies even after she dies. Well, she’ll be dead in her new film anyway. THR reports that Josh Klausner (Date Night) has been hired to adapt Adena Halpern’s novel, The Ten Best Days of My Life, for the big screen, which is being developed as a star vehicle for Adams (she’ll also produce) and would reunite her with Night At The Museum 2 director, Shawn Levy.
Halpern’s book is about a woman who dies and goes to the top rung of the seven levels of heaven. It’s the perfect afterlife, where she lives with ther uncle and grandparents in a house that never needs cleaning, but she discovers she is in danger of being demoted to a lower level of heaven, unless she can prove she’s lived a worthwhile life. So as evidence of her eligibility for top heaven status, she starts writing about the 10 best days of her life.
Who knew heaven was so bureaucratic and had such strict class divisions? And if it is split into seven levels, isn’t it a bit mean to let someone go to the top and then tell them they might get booted out and have to go somewhere worse.
Although it’s a concept that could make an incredibly twee film, it could also be a sentimental, fun treat.
