Lucy Hale to Star in The Storied Life Of A.J. Fikry
Lucy Hale has landed a new role. The actress is set to join Kunal Nayyar and Christina Hendricks in The Storied Life Of A.J. Fikry.
Based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Gabrielle Zevin, the movie follows the story of A.J. Fikry (Nayyar), whose life is not at all what he expected it to be. His wife has died, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history and now his prized possession, a rare edition of Poe poems, has been stolen.
He’s given up on people and even the books in his store offer another reminder that the world is changing too rapidly. But when a mysterious package arrives at the store, it give Fikry the chance to make his life over and see things anew.
Production is set to begin on the film this coming Fall.
