Relativity Studios will produce the adaptation of Alyson Richman’s bestselling novel “The Lost Wife” and distribute the movie worldwide.
“Serendipity” writer Marc Klein is set to adapt “The Lost Wife,” which is a romantic story of a young couple’s enduring love during and after World War II.
The two young lovers are separated during the Nazi invasion in pre-war Prague. Decades later and thousands of miles away, the two reconnect and explore both the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.
