BREAKING: Behind The Candelabra scribe Richard LaGravenese will write and direct The Last 5 Years, the film adaptation of Jason Robert Brown’s musical. Anna Kendrick, who saw success in last year’s music-based pic Pitch Perfect, will star with Tony and Grammy nominee Jeremy Jordan. Told through emotionally powerful and comic songs from their individual perspectives, the musical is a deconstruction of the love affair and marriage of Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress, and Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist. From Lucky Monkey Pictures and Sh-K-Boom Records, Lauren Versel, Kurt Deutsch, LaGravenese and Janet Brenner are producers, and Steve Norman is co-producer. The pic begins shooting this week in NY, with CAA handling domestic sales and The Exchange shopping international. Kendrick is repped by CAA, Jordan by ICM Partners and Schachter Entertainment.
