His production company Billy17 is working with Sony on adapting Graeme Simsion’s novel for TriStar Pictures.

There’s no information as to whether Holland will star in the film. And he would certainly appear to be too young to take on the lead character,

His plans go awry when he meets Rosie, who in her whirlwind manner possesses all the opposite qualities he should be looking for.
