‘The Idea of You’ Author Robinne Lee on Anne Hathaway’s ‘Rocky’ Moment and How She Aims to Inspire Black Women Authors
'The Idea of You' author Robinne Lee and producer Gabrielle Union co-starred in 2003's 'Deliver Us From Eva' before developing the new romance movie.
Back in 2017, Robinne Lee dropped by a local L.A. news station for an interview promoting her role in “Fifty Shades Darker,” the second film in the steamy series based on books by E.L. James. The premise was unique: A divorced mother and art gallery owner, living in L.A. on the precipice of turning 40, takes her daughter to a concert meet-and-greet and the 20-year-old lead singer of the band falls in love with her. Armed with that information, Union asked Lee if she could option the book and introduced the author to Oscar-winning producer Cathy Schulman, who led the charge to get the film made, with Hathaway signed on to star and Michael Showalter as its director.
