Hilary Duff on the set of “The Business of Falling In Love” in New York City, NY
Hilary Duff has teamed up with ABC Family for a new made-for-tv original film, The Business of Falling in Love. The movie is a romantic comedy based on the book Diary of a Working Girl by Daniella Brodsky. Hilary Duff will not only star in the film, she will also be one of the producers!
Hilary Duff will star as a fashion reporter who goes undercover in the business world in order to write an article about dating men in suits – she’s hoping this article will be her big break in the magazine world. She’s also looking for her big break in love.
If the movie stays true to the book, Hilary will play Lane Silverman. In the book, Lane is so obsessed with meeting Prince Charming that her work often comes second. Described as a “flighty, romantic” person with a “wild imagination”, she comes up with the idea of combining work and pleasure with this article about finding love. Cosmopolitan magazine loves the idea, she gets a job easily at a financial company…. but the ‘perfect man’ Lane finds… he ends up not working for that company.
The 2-hour original movie will be directed by Gil Junger (10 Things I Hate About You), with the screenplay adaptation by Mike Horowitz. The film will be executive produced by Hilary Duff, alongside Frank Von Zerneck, Robert Sertner, Ira Pincus and Jessica Horowitz. This is not Hilary’s first credit as producer; she was producer for Material Girls and executive producer on Greta as well.
