Author Gayle Forman Says 'If I Stay' Is Happening In Hollywood

Because fans of Gayle Forman's "If I Stay" have been slavering and slobbering for months over every last little iota of information about the possible film adaptation, nothing in the author's recent post about her book's journey through Hollywood is news, exactly. But still, ohmigod you guys, it's like an almost-totally-concrete promise that this is really actually happening! For real! So let's all squeal about it!

The scoop from Gayle's blog: The movie is now in development at MGM, which means a change of venue (it was previously at Summit) but not much more. However, she does give the weight of an official authorial confirmation to tidbits like the directorial assignment of "Nashville"'s R.J. Cutler, and to a probable fall kickoff of the actual filming process, and to the much-discussed snagging of Chloë Moretz as a leading lady.

...Well, okay, technically the post only alludes to final negotiations with "the same star who’s been rumored to be attached for ages," but we feel comfy enough after our prior reportage on the subject to just come out and say it. We're too psyched to be coy, anyway.

Are you so excited about the new "If I Stay" news?
