LOS ANGELES: Actor Mila Kunis has been roped in to play the central character within the movie adaptation of creator Jessica Knoll’s 2015 novel “Luckiest Girl Alive”, set at Netflix.

“But when the director of a crime documentary invites her to tell her side of the shocking incident that took place when she was a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School, Ani is forced to confront a dark truth that threatens to unravel her meticulously crafted life,” the plotline reads.

Bruna Papandrea and Jeanne Snow will produce for Made Up Stories, with Erik Feig and Lucy Kitada for Picturestart.

Knoll, Lisa Sterbakov, Shayne Fiske Goldner and Steve Hutensky will function govt producers.
