Join Lennie on this heartbreaking and hilarious journey of profound sorrow and mad love, as she makes colossal mistakes and colossal discoveries, as she traipses through band rooms and forest bedrooms and ultimately right into your heart.
As much a celebration of love as a poignant portrait of loss, Lennie’s struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often uproarious, and absolutely unforgettable.
Well, that sounds like quite the complicated romantic entanglement. It’s easy to see why the book is so appealing to young adults, and there’s more than enough drama to turn into a movie. Normally I’d say this sounds like a Nicholas Sparks copycat that teen girls will rewatch at home over and over again, but the fact that A24 is getting involved and Josephine Decker is directing makes this sound a little more promising.
The Sky Is Everywhere was actually optioned by Warner Bros. Pictures back in 2015. The studio had also picked up the rights to Jandy Nelson’s book, I’ll Give You the Sun, the previous year, but neither has moved towards production since then. Now it sounds like The Sky Is Everywhere will be the first to hit the screen, especially with Apple quickly trying to build a library that will entice subscribers to sign up for their Apple TV+ streaming service.
Since this is Apple’s second collaboration with A24, it will more than likely be released in theaters before ending up in their streaming library. Just recently we learned that Apple wants to play nice with movie theaters by having a traditional theatrical release for some (but not all) of their movies before releasing it to streaming. So we can likely expect to see this movie in theaters in the next couple years, and then on Apple’s streaming service a few months after that.
