Kristin Hannah's ‘The Nightingale' Gets Movie Cast & Release Date
If you love Kristin Hannah's bestselling historical fiction novels, then we have some good news for you! After several years of watching and waiting, there is finally news on The Nightingale movie, including casting updates (spoiler, it's two very famous sisters) and a release date! Read on to learn about the film, including what Hannah herself has to say about the cast and the highly anticipated book-to-screen adaptation. What we know about 'The Nightingale' movie On Tuesday, July 22, Deadline exclusively reported that TriStar Pictures, along with Reese Witherspoon's company Hello Sunshine, will be producing a feature film adaptation of Hannah's bestselling World War II historical fiction novel The Nightingale. They also shared that Michael Morris (To Leslie and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy) would be directing, and sisters Dakota (Ripley and The Perfect Couple) and Elle Fanning (Maleficent and A Complete Unknown) would be starring in it and helping to produce it. The Nightingale will be the first time the two have worked on a project together. 'This has been a long time coming and I know that fans of the book are more than ready to get the news,' Hannah wrote on Instagram following the announcement. 'The whole process has been a reminder that faith and commitment and passion for a project can ultimately move mountains. We've made it through a worldwide pandemic and two strikes, and yet here we are, poised to begin!' 'I want to thank a few of the many people whose passion for the project made all the difference. First and foremost to my readers who NEVER stopped asking me when the movie was coming out. Thank you @ellefanning and @dakotafanning and @lewellenpictures for years of faith and making it all work, thanks to @filmbymichaelmorris for stepping up to lead us.' This isn't the first of Hannah's books to make it off the pages and onto the screen: Her 2008 novel, Firefly Lane, was adapted into a Netflix miniseries starring Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke. It had 26 total episodes. What is 'The Nightingale' about? The Nightingale is a bestselling historical fiction novel originally published in February 2015. It has since become one of the most talked about books on BookTok (book TikTok). The plot follows two sisters—Vianne and Isabelle—as they try to learn how to live in France after the Nazis take over. The novel has more than a million ratings on Goodreads and it won the Readers' Favorite Historical Fiction award back in 2015 thanks to its page-turning storyline and well-researched plot. 'I love the research. It's very easy to keep researching long after the moment that you should start writing. But what I love the most is editing,' Hannah exclusively told Woman's World last year. 'I love the research. It's very easy to keep researching long after the moment that you should start writing. But what I love the most is editing. My least favorite part is coming up with an idea and actually rallying around it, being like, 'Okay, this is what I'm going to spend three years of my life on.' That's the hardest part.' When will 'The Nightingale' movie release? As of publication, The Nightingale is due to release on February 12, 2027. The studio said they made this decision because it coincided with Valentine's Day and the Super Bowl. It is also set to be the first female-centered film of that year.

LeBron James' fiery Instagram post includes Clippers twist
LeBron James got a few things off his chest in a new Instagram post on Thursday. The Lakers superstar, who's been at the center of trade rumors this offseason, cautioned to appreciate him while he's still playing. It included a snapshot of him working out in front of a Clippers sign, which raised some eyebrows from fans. Advertisement 'Say whatever you want but you damn sure won't be able to say I didn't put in the WORK!! 👑 ,' James, 40, wrote. 'We'll see what happens when I no longer exist. Man F this Shhhhhh.' LeBron James working out ahead of his 23rd NBA season. Instagram/LeBron James Klutch Sports Group, the agency that manages James, confirmed to USA Today that the photo was taken at their offices in Playa Vista, located in the old Clippers practice facility. Advertisement Klutch uses the facility for its players to train in Los Angeles and they haven't yet switched out the Clippers signage. It comes after James was seen working out at the Cleveland Cavaliers practice facility earlier this summer. James responded to the buzz earlier this month, writing on X, 'I live here still and train every summer.' Advertisement James, who will turn 41 in December, is rumored to want out of the Lakers after his agent, Rich Paul, released a statement regarding the 21-time All-Star accepting his $52.6 million player option. James, who is entering his 23rd season, has a no-trade clause in his contract. The NBA's all-time leading scorer doesn't seem phased by the buzz, as Paul advised him to enjoy his summer. James was spotted partying in the South of France last week with his wife, Savannah James, and his business partner, Maverick Carter. Advertisement LeBron James and his wife, Savannah James in Portofino, Italy. COBRA TEAM / BACKGRID 'LeBron wants to compete for a championship,' Paul told ESPN last month. 'He knows the Lakers are building for the future. He understands that, but he values a realistic chance of winning it all. We are very appreciative of the partnership that we've had for eight years with Jeanie [Buss] and Rob [Pelinka] and consider the Lakers as a critical part of his career. 'We understand the difficulty in winning now while preparing for the future. We do want to evaluate what's best for LeBron at this stage in his life and career. He wants to make every season he has left count, and the Lakers understand that, are supportive and want what's best for him.'

LeBron James posts image of himself with Clippers logo in background
All of a sudden, not as many people are talking about LeBron James possibly asking the Los Angeles Lakers to trade him. That talk has largely subsided as the realities of how difficult it would be to pull off a trade that would land him on an instant title contender have seemingly sunk in. But many feel James has been dropping passive-aggressive hints that he may want to move on. Earlier this offseason, he had a couple of social media posts of himself in his native Ohio, including one at the Cleveland Cavaliers' facility. The latest such post shows him working out in a room that has the Los Angeles Clippers' logo positioned behind him. The accompanying caption on that Instagram post read as follows: "Say whatever you want but you damn sure won't be able to say I didn't put in the WORK!! . We'll see what happens when I no longer exist. Man [expletive] this [expletive]." This could be a big nothing as far as which team James will play for in the coming months, and it's always possible he's simply looking to mess with people who love to speculate about him. Of course, since it is him, and since he is infamously passive-aggressive, people will wonder what this post is really all about.
