Hailee Steinfeld, who years ago received an Oscar nomination for her work in TRUE GRIT and will soon be seen in BARELY LETHAN and PITCH PERFECT 2, has joined BREAK MY HEART 1000 TIMES, an adaption of the book of the same name written by Daniel Waters (screenwriter of HEATHERS and BATMAN RETURNS). The weird-sounding story revolves around a world where ghosts are as commonplace as the living.
Here’s the novel’s synopsis:
Living in the aftermath of the Event means that seeing the dead is now a part of life, but Veronica wishes that the ghosts would just move on. Instead, the ghosts aren’t disappearing-they’re gaining power.
When Veronica and her friend, Kirk, decide to investigate why, they stumble upon a sinister plot. One of Veronica’s high school teachers is crippled by the fact that his dead daughter has never returned as a ghost. Veronica seems like the perfect body to host her. And even if he’s wrong, what’s the harm in creating one more ghost?
Rather odd… Jason Fuchs (PAN) is penning the screenplay, while Scott Speer (STEP UP REVOLUTION) is in line to direct.
