In February 2014, U.S. actress Tina Fey confirmed that her production company, Little Stranger, would be adapting the book into a film, which was released in March 2016. Fey stars in the film, which was produced by Lorne Michaels and written by Robert Carlock.[1] Paramount hired Glenn Ficarra and John Requa to direct the film.[5] It co-stars Margot Robbie, Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton, and Alfred Molina.[6]
