Maika Monroe to Star in Colleen Hoover's ‘Reminders of Him' Film Adaptation at Universal
Maika Monroe is set to star in Colleen Hoover's 'Reminders of Him' film adaptation at Universal Pictures, according to an insider with knowledge of the project. 'Love at First Sight' director Vanessa Caswill is set to direct the 'Longlegs' actress in the project. The novel follows Kenna Rowan, a woman who has just finished a five-year prison sentence for a tragic mistake. She returns to her hometown hoping to make amends and reconnect with her daughter, but nearly everyone in the town shuts her out save for a local bar owner, Ledger Ward. As time goes on, Kenna and Ledger grow closer together, even though they both risk being ostracized even more if their budding romance is discovered. Despite this, they push forward, as Kenna looks for a way to fix her mistakes. Hoover will write the screenplay with Lauren Levine, with whom she co-founded her new production studio Heartbones Entertainment in 2023. Both Hoover and Levine will serve as producers on 'Reminders of Him.' Gina Matthews is producing through Little Engine Productions. Robin Fisichella is also executive producing. Christine Sun, the director of production development, will oversee the project for the studio. With more than 20 million books sold, Hoover crossed over into Hollywood with Sony Pictures' adaptation of 'It Ends With Us' this past August, which became a mid-budget box office hit as an alternative to the summer action spectacle. Produced on a $25 million budget, the drama about domestic abuse starring Blake Lively grossed $351.4 million worldwide. 'Reminders of Him' will be released on Valentine's Day weekend in 2026. Monroe's next project is the lead in 'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle' at 20th Century. Monroe is represented by Entertainment 360, WME, Felker Toczek and imPRint. Deadline first reported the news.
