midnight library movie trailer release date cast adaptation

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig has been optioned for a potential movie adaptation. For all the details about this upcoming film or TV adaptation, here’s what we know about The Midnight Library movie:

What’s it about? What’s the plot?

The Midnight Library is about Nora, a thirty-something woman who is regretful about her life and feels alienated and unneeded in this world. In the depths of her wallowing, she comes across the Midnight Library. In it, each book represents a portal into another variation of what her life could have been. As she reads the volumes, they allow her access different versions of her life — relationships she could have stuck with, careers she could have pursued and so on.

As she jumps in and out of these alternate realities, Nora’s journey of self-discovery results in a life-affirming and reflective story about the choices we make, the paths we’ve chosen and each of our places in this world.
