Kyra Sedgwick has been turning her hand to directing of late, working on a TV movie last year and handling an upcoming episode of Grace And Frankie. She'll now make her feature directorial debut on The Way Between, a script by Frozen co-writer Jennifer Lee.
Tooley Entertainment has rounded up the finance to make the film, which is described as a supernatural romance. After losing his girlfriend Franny in a tragic car accident, Sam finds a way to reconnect with his beloved by bending the laws of reality. His unwillingness to let her go soon blurs Sam’s waking life and his intersecting world of dreams.
"From the moment I read The Way Between, I was captivated by this deeply romantic and universal story of love, sacrifice, empathy and finding your way," Sedgwick says of the project. She'll kick off casting soon.
Lee, meanwhile, is now the Chief Creative Officer of the Walt Disney Animation Studios, working alongside Pete Doctor (in a similar position at Pixar).
