Augustine Frizzell Will Be Directing The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue Film

Augustine Frizzell will direct the film adaptation of V.E. Schwab’s bestselling novel The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

Author V.E. Schwab, who will produce the film alongside Gerard Butler, Alan Siegel, and Danielle Robinson, asked her readers on Instagram not to say things like “They better not change/ruin/fuck up this thing I love.” She wrote, “Please remember, no one can change/ruin/fuck up my book. Because my book is my book. It is not undone. It is not erased. It is not a palimpsest, written over by a new iteration. The book will always be the book. The film will always be the film.”
