Electric City to adapt “The Adults” coming-of-age novel into movieNovember 20, 2012 - 17:16 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Electric City partners Jamie Patricof and Lynette Howell have optioned rights to the Alison Espach novel The Adults, Deadline said. They’ve set Massy Tadjedin to write the script and direct. Patricof and Howell most recently completed the Derek Cianfrance-directed The Place Beyond The Pines, which stars Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes and will be released by Focus Features. In her debut novel, Espach chronicles a modern young woman’s struggle to grow up in a world where an adult and a child can so dangerously be mistaken for one and the same. At the center of the suburban universe in which the novel is set is teenager Emily Vidal, who learns quickly of the complications that come with adulthood when she falls in love with an older man. Tadjedin is best known for scripting Leo and The Jacket before making her directorial debut on Last Night, which starred Keira Knightley, Sam Worthington and Mendes.
