Blake Lively will make her feature directorial debut with Seconds, an adaptation of the graphic novel by Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, from a script by Baby Driver and Last Night In Soho‘s Edgar Wright.

The pic is set up at Searchlight, with Wright also aboard to produce alongside Marc Platt. The former previously co-wrote and directed the 2010 cult classic adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which starred Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Chris Evans, and Brie Larson.

Published in 2014, Seconds follows Katie Clay, the head chef at a prospering restaurant who receives the power to fix her past mistakes by writing them down in a notebook, eating a mushroom, then falling asleep. However, when Clay begins to abuse her power in an attempt to make her life “perfect”, her newfound ability starts to create problems that threaten not only to take her further and further from the life she had, but to damage the very fabric of time and space.

Lively made her directorial debut last year when she helmed the music video for Taylor Swift’s “I Bet You Think About Me” starring Miles Teller, which earned her two nominations for the 2022 Academy of Country Music Awards. This will be her first time helming a feature film.
