Paramount is leveling up one of the biggest books of 2022. Daisy Edgar-Jones will headline the film version of Gabrielle Zevin's bestseller 'Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow,' playing Sadie Green, a brilliant game designer at the center of a decades-spanning creative partnership that gets as messy as it is inspired.
The story
The film tracks Sadie and her longtime friend Sam Masur from childhood into their college years and beyond, as they turn a shared obsession with games into an actual business. Alongside Sam's roommate and friend, Marx Watanabe, they build a studio called Unfair Games and chase that impossible mixture of art, commerce, and friendship across multiple eras of the industry. If you read the book: yes, that arc.
Who is making it
- Daisy Edgar-Jones (a Golden Globe nominee) stars as Sadie Green.
- Siân Heder, who won an Oscar for CODA, is writing and directing.
- The screenplay is based on earlier drafts by Mark Bomback and the novel's author, Gabrielle Zevin.
- Temple Hill's Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, and Isaac Klausner are producing, with Zevin on board as an executive producer.
- The novel, published in 2022, has sold over four million copies worldwide and rolled out across 40 foreign-language territories.
Why this pairing tracks
Edgar-Jones does quietly intense like few others, which is exactly the gear this material needs. She broke out in the miniseries 'Normal People,' then anchored this past summer's 'Twisters' opposite Glen Powell. Next up, she stars in Focus Features' new take on Jane Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility,' slated to hit theaters on September 11, 2026.
Between Heder's knack for complicated relationships and the book's sly tour through game-making highs and lows, this one has the right pieces. Now it just needs to press start.
