Lumanity Productions announced that a feature film adaptation deal has been inked with Christine Mangan for her novel The Continental Affair.
This adds to Mangan’s previously optioned debut novel Tangerine originally signed by Imperative Entertainment for producers George Clooney and Grant Heslov at Smokehouse with Scarlett Johansson attached to star. When she steals the money that Henri is supposed to protect, the two end up in a cat-and-mouse chase across continental Europe, from London and Paris to Belgrade and Istanbul with an unlikely bond forming when they share past crimes and secrets. “I’m thrilled to have Robert Budreau at the helm of The Continental Affair ‘s adaptation, and to see his enthusiasm and vision for the project bring to life the (mis)adventures of Louise and Henri on screen,” says Mangan.
