Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on May 22–23 that Sony’s 3000 Pictures bought film rights to Home Economics and attached Julia Roberts to star and produce.
- Roberts will produce through her Red Om Films label with partners Lisa Roberts Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill, while Marc Platt is set to produce through Marc Platt Productions.
- Katy Hays will write the screenplay and serve as an executive producer, and Sony executives Elizabeth Gabler and Aislinn Dunster will oversee the project for 3000 Pictures with Jake Bauman and the studio’s literary team credited for bringing it in.
- The novel sold in a competitive publishing auction to Pamela Dorman Books (Viking/Penguin Random House) for a 2027 publication and has been sold in 11 international territories.
- Plot details are being kept under wraps as the project remains in early development, and the attachment of high-profile talent and an author-led adaptation signals strong studio confidence and likely priority in Sony’s production slate.
