  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nBook girlies rejoice: _The Midnight Library_ is becoming a movie — and Florence Pugh is leading the cast. The book, by Matt Haig, has a 4-star rating on GoodReads (from 2.5 MILLION reviews) and a 4.4 rating on Amazon (from 284 thousand reviews). Not to mention the fact it became an absolute social media sensation.\n\nThe movie adaptation was announced during CinemaCon, and this is one film I am really looking forward to. The book really captures that escapist inclination so many of us feel — and confronts a question so many of us wonder: if I made a different decision, would my life be better?\n\n* * *\n\n## Here's everything we know about _The Midnight Library_ movie so far.\n\n### What is The Midnight Library about?\n\n\n\n\n_The Midnight Library_ follows Nora Seed, who winds up faced with an endless library. While one book tells the story of her life as she knows it, every other book chronicles what would have happened had she changed any of her previous decisions. And the craziest part is, she actually gets the chance to see these alternate realities...and whether any of them are better.\n\nBut the central question of the story is something I myself have wondered as I navigate my 20s. What makes life worth living? And what does it mean to make this reality better?\n\n### Okay so, who's in the cast?\n\n\n\n\nWe finally know who's leading _The Midnight Library_ : Florence Pugh! The actress will also produce the movie (which is going to be directed by Garth Davis, _Lion_). Lucas Till and Dev Patel are also among the fan casts — both of whom I'd LOVE to see.\n\nAs soon as we know the full official cast list, you'll be the first to know!\n\n_Deadline_ reports that the movie is scheduled to enter pre-production this fall and beginning shooting at the beginning of 2027. So hopefully we'll see the film by the end of 2027 or 2028.\n\n**Stay tuned for more news on _The Midnight Library_ movie on our Facebook.**\n\n_This post has been updated._",
