It was reported over the weekend that Harry and Meghan had purchased the film rights to the book, which was published in May and debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Fortune then took to social media to confirm the exciting news, sharing that she’s working with Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Productions and Netflix for the upcoming flick.
The former journalist wrote next to a photo of herself — taken in Barry’s Bay, Ontario — holding her book, “I never thought I’d be making this announcement, but since I am, it feels fitting that I’m doing it from the cottage where it all began.

US one sheet for Our Daily Bread.Though he was a name-above-the-title director back in the day and made some of the enduring classics of American cinema, the great Hollywood director King Vidor is no longer remembered as Hollywood royalty. The son of a Hungarian immigrant, Vidor made some 50 feature films over the course of 40 years, was nominated five times for the Academy Award for Best Director (in 1979 he was finally awarded an Honorary Oscar), and some of his films—The Crowd (1928) and Hallelujah! (1929) in particular—are die-hard masterpieces. Starting today, New York’s Film at Lincoln Center will be showing 20 of Vidor’s features in an attempt to redress the balance and revitalize his reputation. It is the first major US retrospective of his work since “Rediscovering King Vidor” ran at the Public Theater in 1994, on the 100th anniversary of his birth..Restlessly exploring multiple genres, working from the...

The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial captivated viewers with a peek into the stormy marriage of two movie stars but, believe it or not, the proceedings could have been even more sensational.
The unsealing of a trove of 6,000 pages of documents has shown how both sides bitterly fought during the discovery stage of the trial over what could be admitted and what could not. Things were so acrimonious between the parties that there was even a long exchange between the attorneys over Covid safety precautions to be taken during Heard’s deposition.
From Heard’s point of view, Judge Penney Azcarate ended up excluding too much from the jury’s eyes and ears. After the jury awarded Depp 10.4 million in damages, her attorney Elaine Bredehoft appeared on Today and complained that the panel did not hear other evidence in the case that was allowed in Depp’s UK trial, where he...

Leonardo DiCaprio and his friends were in the right place at the right time to help save a life.
The Oscar-winning actor, 45, was vacationing with his friends and girlfriend Camila Morrone on a rented boat near St. Barts on Dec. 30 when they heard there was an emergency call that a search was on for a man who had drunkenly fallen overboard from a Club Med yacht.

Take a look at new footage from the Wonderstorm Cpu-animated, fantasy TV series "The Dragon Prince" Season 3, created by Aaron Ehasz and Justin Richmond, streaming November 22, 2019 on Netflix:
"...the continent of 'Xadia' is rich with magic derived from the six primal elements, the 'Sun', the 'Moon', the 'Stars', the 'Earth', the 'Sky' and the 'Ocean'. However, the humans—who could not utilize primal magic—discovered the use of dark magic, fueled by the life essence of animals and magical creatures.
"As a consequence, humans were driven off by the dragons and elves of Xadia to the other end of the continent, where they founded the five human kingdoms. 'The Breach', the border between the two halves of the continent, is guarded by 'Thunder', the king of the dragons.
"1,200 years later, humans killed the dragon king and supposedly destroyed his heir's egg.
