‘Pachinko’ Creator Soo Hugh to Write and Direct F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ‘Tender Is the Night’ for Searchlight Pictures
'Pachinko' creator Soo Hugh will adapt F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Tender Is the Night' and direct the film for Searchlight Pictures and LuckyChap.
Searchlight Pictures has enlisted Hugh to write and direct “Tender Is the Night,” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1934 novel about married ex-pats, Nick and Nicole Diver, who are living on the French Riviera when they meet a young actress while on holiday. It was the novelist’s fourth and final completed work, and it has many of Fitzgerald’s trademarks — romantic entanglements, wealth, alcoholism and mental instability. Vice president Richard Ruiz will be overseeing the project for Searchlight Pictures, reporting to heads of production and development Katie Goodson-Thomas and DanTram Nguyen.
