Anya Taylor-Joy is also attached to star as the lead in the film adaptation of Francesca Lia Block’s 1980s cult novel Weetzie Bat, which was first announced by Deadline in July 2018. In the movie, which is to be directed by Justin Kelly (I Am Michael, Welcome To Stranger, and King Cobra), follows Weetzie (Taylor-Joy), the daughter of an alcoholic actress mother and junkie screenwriter father, as she navigates life in 1980s Los Angeles and finds her place among a group of inseparable friends played by Nick Robinson (Love, Simon) and Keiynam Lonsdale (The Flash) When the smooth sailing of young life gets interrupted, however, it’s up to Weetzie to confront the darker side of the City of Angels.
There haven’t been any updates since Weetzie Bat was first announced in the summer of 2018, so it remains to be seen exactly when the project, which was adapted for the screen by the novel’s author, will enter production or come to a theater near you.
