In her latest book-to-film adaptation, Karen Kingsbury, the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of the acclaimed novel, “Someone Like You,” set to pleasantly surprise readers, and fans alike, in her latest acquisition from Karen Kingsbury Productions, releasing the film adaptation of the same name, for audiences of all ages. As Kingsbury recently stated, “While I was very thankful (for the other movies) it was never the movie that God put in my heart.”

In desiring to produce a work as close to both her protagonist’s life, and in her vision, this literary renaissance woman has self-financed, produced, and marketed this venture, entirely herself. From picturesque cinematography to wardrobe and score, Kingsbury has stationed her vision deep within her production value. Recently espousing to media outlets, “Everything went right and (the movie) was complete in 25 days. We prayed for wisdom and favor, and we got it.”

Fans of Kingsbury’s works will delight in knowing that “Someone Like You,” shot in the American chronicler’s home state of Tennessee, features panoramic scenes shot in both Franklin and Nashville, Tennesse, and picturesque eastern Alabama.

“Someone Like You,” details the romantic narrative of architect Dawson Gage (Jake Allyn) who falls for the impassioned London Quinn (Sarah Fisher) throughout secondary school, despite the story’s protagonist running away at his connection attempts. A decade later, the two star-crossed lovers gingerly navigate the waters of friendship, only to find themselves amid tragedy.

As the grieving Dawson, coerced by love to share in one final act of deep affection for London- embarking on a preposterous search for her London’s twin, Andi Allen, (Sarah Fisher), twins separated as embryos. Then, upon learning of Dawson’s forage through her family tree, London’s world is upended, leaving her feeling bewildered by her family of choice; her adoptive parents. Despite this fall, Dawson never planned to fall in love with London-never planned to fall in love, entirely.

Praise for the piece has been celebratory at the Franklin Theatre, premiere a triumph for Kingsbury’s production debut. Danica McKellar (Hallmark, The Wonder Years) stated the piece was a “Beautiful movie. Even with the loss of a child, you can find strength, through faith, through God, and the support of your family.” The Grants, Amy Grant and Vince Gill stated, “Vince and I want to support this movie and the arts. Karen Kingsbury has gone all the way. It’s important for us all to support the arts. This combination of being at Franklin Theatre, it feels like the best of being in a small town. And that is what Franklin is.” With Vince Gill praised the film’s score, created by Tyler Smith, and added “I am excited to hear the music. Nashville has popped up as a great city in which to make movies. It’s great for the town.”
