Lyrical Media and Ryder Picture Company will adapt Sian Gilbert's debut thriller 'She Started It' for the screen. Jessica Sharzer, the screenwriter behind 'A Simple Favor,' is set to direct from the script she co-wrote with Sarah Masson. Ryder Picture Company's Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett are producing with Lyrical Media's Alexander Black.

The announcement comes ahead of the June release of Gilbert's second novel, 'I Did Warn Her.'

Their adult lives haven't unfolded quite as they'd imagined, but a shared past and buried secrets have kept them loosely connected. When they receive an invitation from former classmate Poppy Greer to an extravagant bachelorette weekend on a private island, curiosity, and the promise of luxury, pulls them back together. But the trip is not what it seems. With no cell service, no other guests, and tensions rising, the women soon realize they've underestimated Poppy — and each other. Sharzer adapted Darcey Bell's thriller novel 'A Simple Favor' and co-wrote its upcoming sequel 'Another Simple Favor 'starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick and directed by Paul Feig, which is set to be released exclusively on Prime Video this week. Sharzer made her feature debut in 2004 at the Sundance Film Festival with 'Speak'; wrote and produced the film 'Nerve'; and has been tapped to revive films like 'The Hunger' for Warner Brothers and 'To Catch A Thief' for Paramount. Additionally, Sharzer was a co-executive producer on 'American Horror Story' (FX), 'Star' (Fox), 'Amazing Stories' (Apple) and 'Nine Perfect Strangers' (Hulu). 'Whenever I write a script, I'm directing it in my head and then translating what I see onto the page,' said Sharzer. 'With 'She Started It,' I'm very excited to get the chance to see a movie all the way through production, from first draft to final frame. The movie is a genre mash-up with a very specific tone and, from the moment I read the novel, I knew I needed to direct it. I'm very grateful to be on this journey with RPC and the Lyrical team.' 'She Started It' falls under Lyrical and Ryder's first-look deal. They are currently in post-production on Adam Wingard's 'Onslaught' and Michael Sarnoski's 'The Death of Robin Hood' starring Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer and Bill Skarsgård, both of which will be distributed by A24. The companies are also developing a slate of projects, including 'Funny Story,' an adaptation of Emily Henry's bestselling romantic comedy, and 'Butcher & Blackbird,' based on Brynne Weaver's popular novel. Lyrical Media's upcoming slate also includes 'Powerless,' a television adaption of Lauren Roberts' best-selling debut YA novel. Sharzer is repped by UTA and North Star. Gilbert is represented by the Helen Heller Agency. Best of Variety What's Coming to Netflix in May 2025 New Movies Out Now in Theaters: What to See This Week What's Coming to Disney+ in May 2025

Hugh Jackman Rocks A Truly Wild Mustache In Photo Dump From New Movie
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We've seen Hugh Jackman don some truly iconic facial hair for roles before—most famously, Logan's eXcellent muttonchops in the X-Men franchise. But his latest transformation might take the cake (or at least the beard oil). Jackman just dropped a behind-the-scenes look at his newest film, and it features him rocking a mustache so bold it might need its own SAG card–but it's not for an upcoming Marvel movies. This first look comes from a post shared to the Australian actor's official Instagram account. Jackman specifically showed off a fitting and makeup session for upcoming A24 movie The Death of Robin Hood. With that, his full transformation, including that impressively wild, curled mustache, is on display: The BTS look is accompanied by a heartfelt caption, thank you to the team behind the movie, and a love letter to the country where it was filmed. 'There is a depth, a camaraderie, and a spirit to the entire cast and crew of The Death of Robin Hood,' Jackman wrote. 'Thank you for this wonderful experience. It is an honor and a privilege. Thank you Ireland!!! Your beauty knows no bounds.' The Australia actor also shared some truly breathtaking footage from the set, images of beautifully picturesque filming locations in Ireland, and a picture of himself sporting a glorious mustache. Seriously, the A-lister does not miss when it comes to facial hair, and I continue to be amazed by just how suave or eclectic his whiskers can be. As for the film itself, look, we get it—yet another Robin Hood movie might make your eyes twitch. But before you roll them all the way back into Sherwood Forest, know this: this isn't your typical tights-and-merry-men reboot. From the sounds of it, The Death of Robin Hood is aiming for something a lot grittier and more introspective. At the helm is Michael Sarnoski, the filmmaker who gave us Pig, which says a lot about the tone we might be in for—moody, emotional, and a little off the beaten path. Sarnoski also wrote the script, and he's got a stacked team backing him up. The story reportedly follows a wounded, battle-worn Robin Hood grappling with the ghosts of his past when he crosses paths with an enigmatic woman. Joining Jackman and Comer in the cast are Bill Skarsgård, The White Lotus' Murray Bartlett, and rising star Noah Jupe.

Expires March 30View Deal There's no official release date just yet, but with filming wrapped and teaser content starting to trickle out, it's probably only a matter of time before The Death of Robin Hood rides onto the big screen. It might miss the 2025 movie schedule, but it's already carved out a spot on my personal "most anticipated" list. One thing is certain, though: Hugh Jackman's facial hair remains undefeated. And let's be honest—between this and his eternal contract with Marvel, Disney's probably got him growing mutton chops until he's pushing 90. While we wait for more news on The Death of Robin Hood, you can always revisit Jackman's iconic run as Logan/Weapon X by streaming all of his claw-slinging appearances with your Disney+ subscription.
