Picture Perfect Federation and Zurich Avenue have acquired Jeneva Rose's 2020 debut novel, The Perfect Marriage, which will be adapted into a film by Oscar-nominated screenwriter William Broyles (Apollo 13, Cast Away), Deadline reported. Sigal Avin (Losing Alice) is the director.
The film will be produced by Patrick Wachsberger and Ashley Stern for Picture Perfect Federation. Zurich Avenue's Karl Spoerri and Viviana Vezzani are exec producing alongside Broyles and Lenore Entertainment Group's Adam Berkowitz, Avin's manager. Olivia Wachsberger is co-executive producer.
"The Perfect Marriage took the literary world by storm, immediately solidifying Jeneva as one of the top voices in her genre," Wachsberger said. "I have always had an affinity for modern psychological thrillers, like Fatal Attraction and Unfaithful, for which Bill also brilliantly wrote the script. With Jeneva's excellent story and Sigal as our director, we're confident this will be a strong addition to the space."
