Lili Reinhart To Star in Romantic Comedy THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS

"Riverdale" and "Hal & Harper" star Lili Reinhart has signed on to star in and executive produce the romantic comedy "The Love Hypothesis", which is based on the New York Times bestseller by Ali Hazelwood ("Problematic Summer Romance", "Deep End"). The film is directed by Claire Scanlon ("The People We Hate at the Wedding", "Set It Up") from a script by Sarah Rothschild ("The Sleepover").

The Amazon MGM Studios and MRC film follows Olive Smith, a biology PhD candidate, and Dr. Adam Carlsen, a hotshot professor and well-known tyrant, as they enter into a fake relationship, seeing each of their carefully calculated theories on love get thrown into chaos.

Published by Berkley, an imprint of Penguin Random House, Hazelwood's novel spent 10 months on the New York Times bestseller list, breaking out internationally in 40 countries. It was also named the Best Romance of the Year by Amazon.

Elizabeth Cantillon ("The Girl in the Spider's Web", "Charlie's Angels") is producing, with Reinhart, Catherine Hagedorn, and Hazelwood executive producing.

Hazelwood said the following in a statement: "Honestly, I still can't believe this is happening? Elizabeth Cantillon, Claire Scanlon, and Lili Reinhart have all created, produced, or starred in works that I'm absolutely feral about, and I am beyond honored that they're choosing to bring their talent to this project. Books and films are very different media, and I have complete trust in this brilliant team. I cannot wait to see the final product they'll come up with. I hope they have as much fun filming as I had while writing the book."

Reinhart's is also set to star in Uta Briesewitz's "American Sweatshop", as well as Amazon's "Ali & Anthony Garland's Fake Wedding". She recently finished work on Brian Swibel's directorial debut "The Very Best People", as well as Meredith Alloway's first feature "Forbidden Fruits".
