Hailee Steinfled (True Grit, the upcoming Barely Lethal) will star in the next YA supernatural phenomenon-hopeful, Break My Heart 1000 Times.
Based on a novel by Daniel Waters (not the screenwriter of Heathers), Break My Heart 1000 Times concerns Veronica, a girl living in the aftermath of a massive world event that has left the dead visible to the living. Via Amazon, Veronica wishes that the ghosts would just move on. Instead, the ghosts aren’t disappearing-they’re gaining power. When Veronica and her friend, Kirk, decide to investigate why, they stumble upon a sinister plot. One of Veronica’s high school teachers is crippled by the fact that his dead daughter has never returned as a ghost. Veronica seems like the perfect body to host her. And even if he’s wrong, what’s the harm in creating one more ghost?
Scott Speer, who directed the best Step Up sequel (Revolution), will helm for Gold Circle Films. Jason Fuchs is writing.
