Siân Heder—an Oscar winner for “CODA”—is also in post-production on “Being Heumann,” which was made for Apple; it stars Mark Ruffalo, Dylan O’Brien and Rob Delaney and tells the story of disability rights advocate Judith Heumann.
Paramount Pictures has set November 12, 2027 as the wide theatrical release date for its adaptation of Gabrielle Zevin's bestselling novel *Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow*, according to The Wrap. The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as Sadie Green and is directed by Oscar-winning *CODA* filmmaker Siân Heder.
The 2022 novel has sold more than four million copies worldwide and has been translated into 40 languages. Paramount originally bought the rights in 2021 for $2 million, beating out 24 other bidders before the book was even published, according to Variety.
A $2 Million Bet That Paid Off Big
Paramount made an unusually bold move in early 2021. The studio paid $2 million to win a 25-bidder auction for a novel that had not yet been published. That gamble paid off when the book debuted in July 2022 and immediately hit the *New York Times* bestseller list, according to World of Reel.
The novel now has more than 1.3 million reviews on Goodreads. The New York Times ranked it #76 on its list of the "100 Best Books of the 21st Century." The *Los Angeles Times* also named it one of the best fiction books of the last 30 years.
Daisy Edgar-Jones Leads a Star-Powered Creative Team
Edgar-Jones will play Sadie Green, one of two childhood friends who reunite as adults to build a video game studio called "Unfair Games." Her casting follows strong box-office performances in *Twisters* and *Where the Crawdads Sing*, plus acclaimed TV roles in *Normal People* and *Under the Banner of Heaven*, according to ANI News.
Heder is writing the screenplay, building on earlier drafts by Mark Bomback and Zevin herself. Zevin will also serve as executive producer. Temple Hill Entertainment — the team behind *The Fault in Our Stars* and *Twilight* — is producing, with Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, and Isaac Klausner attached, according to FanBolt.
Casting for Key Male Roles Still Unannounced
The roles of Sam Masur and Marx Watanabe — Sadie's co-creators and central figures in the story — have not yet been cast. Fan speculation is running high online, with some names being floated on social media, though no official announcements have been made, according to ComingSoon.
The story spans roughly 30 years, starting in the 1990s. It follows three friends as they build a video game studio and find that the intimacy they create in digital worlds is harder to hold onto in real life. The title comes from a soliloquy in Shakespeare's *Macbeth*.
Paramount Eyes Awards Season With a Prestige Holiday Slot
A November 12 release puts the film squarely in awards season territory. World of Reel suggests Paramount is positioning the film as a major contender for the 2028 Oscars. The studio is also finalizing its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, a deal valued at roughly $111 billion that cleared a key regulatory hurdle on June 13, 2026.
Heder is currently in post-production on *Being Heumann*, an Apple Studios film starring Mark Ruffalo, Dylan O'Brien, and Rob Delaney. It tells the story of disability rights advocate Judith Heumann. That film is expected to wrap before production ramps up fully on *Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow*, according to The Playlist.
