Daisy Edgar-Jones is set to star in the film adaptation of "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow."

It looks like Daisy Edgar-Jones is rejoining the book-to-movie pipeline.

The actress, who catapulted to fame after starring in Hulu's adaptation of Sally Rooney's "Normal People," will reportedly lead a remake of another buzzy book: "Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow."

Edgar-Jones, 27, is in final talks to star in the Paramount production, Deadline and Variety report. The film will be directed by Siân Heder of "Coda" fame. Heder is also slated to write the screenplay based on drafts from Rooney, Gabrielle Zevin and Mark Bomback, according to the outlets.
