Eisner-winning author Tom King’s graphic novel Love Everlasting has been tapped by Sony Pictures Entertainment for a movie adaptation!
Published by Image Comics, Love Everlasting is described as a story that’s part Groundhog Day, part Quantum Leap. The comic blends romance with horror with fantastical elements. Written by Eisner-Winning author Tom King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Heroes in Crisis) and drawn by Elsa Charretier (The Unstoppable Wasp), Love Everlasting tells the story of Joan Peterson, after she discovers that she’s trapped in an endless, repeating loop of romance. Every time she falls in love, she’s thrust away and placed into another love story.
As of April 2025, Love Everlasting has released 15 issues. The series is still ongoing, with plans for a run of at least 30 issues.
King’s work has a track record of being hugely successful as a platform for movie and television projects. For instance, his works have influenced everything from Marvel Studios’ WandaVision, to the DCU’s upcoming Supergirl movie.
Now, a report from Deadline confirms that Love Everlasting is getting a movie adaptation from Sony Pictures Entertainment. What’s more, the project has Oscar-nominated director Lenny Abrahamson (Room) on board to helm, and Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Stardust) penning the script. Goldman has an esteemed history of working on comic book movies, having previously worked on Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class. In addition, Emma Watts and Element’s Ed Guiney are down as producers.
There’s a lot of talent behind this movie! With the amount of talent involved, before even any official casting announcements have been made, it’s easy to foresee Love Everlasting becoming one of the most exciting upcoming comic book adaptations!
No cast has been announced yet, nor has a release date has been set. These are still early days, but we will keep you updated. In the meantime, you can find the comic on Amazon here.
