Working Title Films has optioned Kirsten King’s debut novel, A Good Person, with BAFTA nominated actrress Daisy Edgar-Jones attached to produce the feature adaptation. King will adapt the screenplay, with Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner producing alongside Edgar-Jones.

Here is a statement from Eric Fellner, Working Title's co-chair, about the film project: 

“We were immediately drawn to Kirsten’s novel for its wit, dark humor and subversive spirit, and we look forward to bringing its unlikely heroine, Lillian, to life on screen. Having just worked with Daisy as a leading actor in Sense and Sensibility, now partnering with her as a producer marks an exciting new chapter in our creative relationship, and we can’t wait to see this film fully realized.”

Here is a statement from author Kirsten King about the film project: 

“I’m so thrilled to be partnering with Daisy and the Working Title team on this adaptation. From early creative conversations it was abundantly clear that my deeply flawed main character was in good hands.”
