WT Clients: “The Paradise Problem” Set for Film Adaptation

Rebelle Media, the company behind the Hulu breakout “Tell Me Lies” and the films “Mr. Malcolm’s List” and “Long Weekend,” has rebranded to focus exclusively on romance, developing and producing love-led storytelling across film, television, and books. The relaunch, led by founder Laura Lewis and new Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Amanda Palley, positions Rebelle as a romance-focused indie studio following a first-look television deal with MGM Television. Lewis and Palley will be closely involved in all projects, serving as producers and creative consultants. Current plans call for Christina Lauren’s “The Paradise Problem” to be developed as a feature film in partnership with Popcorn Storm, with Rebecca Armitage’s “The Heir Apparent” envisioned as a television series in partnership with Pinky Promise.

Christina Lauren is represented by Weintraub Tobin partner Matthew Sugarman.
