Kidman will produce and possibly star in the adaptation of the novel |
Variety reports Blueprint recently optioned the rights to novel "The Quality of Life Report" written by Meghan Daum. The project is still in early stages of development and it hasn't been determined if Kidman will star in the movie, but she will produce with King and Blueprint head Rick Schwartz.
The novel follows the story of Lucinda Trout, a New York television reporter in search of greener pastures.
Moving to the slower- paced, friendly, and vastly more affordable Midwestern town of Prairie City, Lucinda zealously creates a series of televised reports for her New York audience about her newfound quality of life.
But when Lucinda falls for eccentric local Mason Clay, her naïveté about the real world leads her down an unexpected path, where she encounters, among other things, a drafty old farmhouse filled with children, an ever-growing menagerie of farm animals, and the harshest winter the region has seen in twenty years. In other words, simplicity just isn’t as simple as it is cracked up to be, and "quality of life," Lucinda learns, is much more complicated than she ever imagined.
