Warner Bros. has acquired Alisha Fernandez Miranda's 2023 memoir My What If Year, which America Ferrera will produce as a film. Deadline reported that Heidi Schreck (What the Constitution Means to Me) is writing the screenplay, with Connor DeSha exec producing via his and Ferrera's Take Fountain banner. Fernandez Miranda will be associate producer.
My What If Year "chronicles Miranda's bold decision, on the cusp of turning 40, to step away from her demanding career and spend a year as an unpaid intern in industries she had always dreamed about but never pursued. Even amidst the Covid pandemic, Miranda hopped between countries to explore the worlds of Broadway theatre, the London art scene, Scottish luxury hotels, and online fitness," Deadline noted.
