Ultimately produced by Miramax Films\, and starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale\, the tale of star-crossed lovers was declared “an instant romantic comedy classic” and was a smash hit at the box office\, grossing nearly $100 million in the United States alone. In his review of the film\, legendary movie critic Gene Shalit wrote: “I’ve been reviewing movies for 35 years and Serendipity joins my personal list of matchless romantic comedies. Thrilling\, most wonderful and beyond compare!” In the years since its release\, Serendipity is often listed among the best romantic comedies of all time. \nIn 2006\, filmmaker Ridley Scott hand-picked Klein to adapt the Peter Mayle bestseller\, A Good Year. Though modest at the box office\, the film has since developed a cult following\, with many fans traveling toProvence to tour the picturesque locations where the film was shot. \nThat same year\, Klein adapted the best-selling novel\, The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing\, by Melissa Bank. Considered the first modern “chick lit” book\, Klein eventually decided to direct his own screenplay.  \nOver the next decade\, Klein became a highly sought-after script doctor\, with a special emphasis on romantic stories. Among the many films he worked on were the Nicholas Sparks films Dear John (starring Channing Tatum)\, Safe Haven\, (directed by Lasse Hallstrom)\, and The Best of Me. All three were box office hits. \nIn 2012\, Pulitzer Prize-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda tapped Klein to adapt his Tony-Award-winning Broadway musical\, In the Heights\, for Universal Studios. That same year\, Klein also co-wrote Mirror\, Mirror\, a reimagining of the classic Snow White fairy tale. Mirror\, Mirror received enthusiastic reviews and ultimately grossed $183 million at the worldwide box office. \nAlongside the film\, Klein published his debut YA novel The In Between with Little\, Brown for Young Readers. The book has since been translated into ten languages\, expanding his audience across the globe. \nKlein is currently writing Horoscope Computer for Mattel Films\, based on the iconic 1980s astrology toy. He resides in Los Angeles with his wife and son. \nAbout Meryl Poster\nMeryl Poster is a multi-award-winning producer\, media executive and industry leader with a distinguished career spanning film\, television and digital media.
