Summer 2013 in US and Europe, and movie adaptation is underway
Publisher Disney-Hyperion acquired author Cristin Terrill’s All Our Yesterdays in a major literary auction last year, and now prepares to launch the debut novel this summer as Hollywood begins adapting the story for the big screen.
The young adult novel described as a cross between The Terminator and The Time Traveler’s Wife, is a thriller about a girl traveling back in time to kill the boy she loves before he destroys the world – while simultaneously fighting her younger self, who won’t let him go.
The novel is being released by Bloomsbury UK, publisher of Harry Potter, in Europe in August 2013. On September 3, 2013, Disney-Hyperion will launch All Our Yesterdays in the United States.
“As an author you toil over your storyline and words in isolation. And then to have this kind of enthusiastic reception and collaboration as we move toward putting the book in readers’ hands has been nothing short of incredible,” Terrill said. “I’m so appreciative of the team at Disney-Hyperion and look forward to connecting with readers in the coming year.”
Global Produce and Gold Circle Entertainment have acquired the screen rights to the novel, and screenwriter Brian Miller has been tapped to adapt Terrill’s novel for a movie. Miller wrote the Rome, Sweet Rome screenplay for Warner Bros., as well as Dimension’s Apollo 18.
“I am incredibly excited to be working with Gold Circle and Global Produce. They have so much enthusiasm and a great vision for what my book could be on the big screen,” Terrill said.
All Our Yesterdays has been chosen as a Buzz Book at this year’s Book Expo America, and will appear as part of a prestigious panel featuring a handful of books to an audience of hundreds of booksellers, librarians and publishing industry professionals.
The foreign rights have been sold into multiple international territories.
