Daisy Edgar-Jones Joins ‘Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow’ Movie

Daisy Edgar-Jones is in final negotiations to star in Paramount’s adaptation of Gabrielle Zevin’s New York Times bestselling novel Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, sources confirmed to Deadline. Siân Heder is directing and writing the screenplay based on drafts by Mark Bomback and Zevin. 

Temple Hill’s Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and Isaac Klausner are producing the pic. Zevin is executive producing. 

The novel is a modern love story about two friends who meet as children and reunite as adults to create video games, finding an intimacy in digital storytelling that eludes them in their real lives. The relationship explores the intimacy, passion and heartbreak of creative collaboration, set against the visually groundbreaking worlds brought to life by the rising video game industry of the 1990s-2000s.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow has sold over 4 million copies worldwide (over 2M in North America and over 1M in the UK), including 40 foreign-language territories, and spent more than a year on the New York Times bestseller list.

Edgar-Jones broke out globally with her BAFTA- and Golden Globe-nominated performance as Marianne in the acclaimed BBC/Hulu series Normal People. On the big screen, she has starred in films including Fresh, Where the Crawdads Sing, On Swift Horses and the box office hit Twisters.

Upcoming projects include Focus Features and Working Title’s Sense and Sensibility, Chloe Domont’s thriller A Place in Hell, and Here Comes the Flood directed by Fernando Meirelles.

Edgar-Jones is represented by UTA, The B-Side, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
