Tango, the producer of the Sundance pic Shortcomings , is continuing to set up its future slate as it has come on to adapt the subversive rom com novel Book Lovers , into a feature film based on the #1 New York Times Bestseller from Emily Henry , the hit author behind three other New York Times Bestsellers over the last three years.

It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again — in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow — what they discover might just unravel the … [Read more...] about Tango To Adapt Emily Henry’s Novel ‘Book Lovers’ Into Movie

Shia LaBeouf Drama ‘Padre Pio’ From Abel Ferrara Sets Gravitas Ventures Release
EXCLUSIVE : Gravitas Ventures has nabbed North American rights to the Shia LaBeouf -led drama Padre Pio from filmmaker Abel Ferrara , slating it for a day-and-date release on June 2nd. In the film penned by Maurizio Braucci and Ferrara, which world premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival, it’s the end of World War I and the young Italian soldiers are making their way back to San Giovanni Rotondo, a land of poverty, historic violence and the ironclad rule of the church and its wealthy landowners.
