  "textContent": "\n\nBookTok, listen up! On the heels of _Off-Campus_ and Better Than the Movies, we have another new book adaptation in the works: B.K. Borison's _First Time Caller_. The movie is coming from _Tell Me Lies_ executive producer Laura Lewis, which honestly just seems like a perfect choice for this. We don't have too many details about the movie just yet, but we've got all the info you need to know below.“This story is so special to me, and I’m thrilled to be partnering with A Cup of Happy Productions to bring these characters to life,” Borison told Variety. “I wrote this book as a love letter to love and I simply can’t wait to see it on the screen.”\n\n* * *\n\n## Here's everything we know about the upcoming _First Time Caller_ movie adaptation.\n\n### 'First Time Caller' is inspired by Meg Ryan's 'Sleepless in Seattle'.\n\n\n\n\nI absolutely love that this book was inspired by Sleepless in Seattle (starring the iconic Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan; if you haven't seen it, it's a must-watch). The story follows a very similar plot, with a hopeless romantic and a radio show host meeting over the air. Hello, dreamy!\n\nAnother good thing to note here is that author B.K. Borison is actually an executive producer on the film, and having the author be heavily involved in an adaptation is always super important to me because I think that allows the movie to be a little bit more accurate. I think it'll make fans very happy! Amy Huckabay is writing the screenplay.\n\n### And fans would love to see Joe Keery, Claudia Jessie, and more in the 'First Time Caller' cast.\n\n\n\n\nNow we just need to start fan casting for the _First Time Caller_ movie because there are so many incredible actors who could join the cast.\n\nI've seen fans throw out Joe Keery, Brenda Song, Logan Lerman, Molly Gordon, and Claudia Jessie — and I'd be so down for any of these stars to join the movie. Better yet...let's get them all!\n\n**Let us know what y'all think of the _First Time Caller_ movie on Facebook — and who you think should join the cast.**",
