A film adaptation of Sue Miller’s bestselling novel “Monogamy” is in the works at Killer Films and Yellow Bear Films, and Holly Hunter is in talks to star and produce. Memoirist and author Dani Shapiro will pen the project and produce, with Miller set to executive produce. Deadline broke the news.

Published in September and just released in paperback, “Monogamy” is the story of “golden couple” Annie and Graham, who have been married for almost three decades. “Graham is a bookseller, a big, gregarious man with large appetites — curious, eager to please, a lover of life, and the convivial host of frequent, lively parties at his and Annie’s comfortable house in Cambridge. Annie, more reserved and introspective, is a photographer,” the source summarizes. “When Graham suddenly dies — this man whose enormous presence has seemed to dominate their lives together — Annie is lost. What is the point of going on, she wonders, without him? Then, while she is still mourning him intensely, she discovers that Graham had been unfaithful to her; and she spirals into darkness, wondering if she ever truly knew the man who loved her.”

The author of 10 novels, Miller has been published in 22 countries. Her book “The Good Mother” was adapted into a 1988 film starring Diane Keaton. Her other works include “Family Pictures” and “The Arsonist.”

Memoirs “Inheritance” and “Hourglass” and novels “Black & White” and “Family History” are among Shapiro’s titles. She co-founded the Sirenland Writers Conference and hosts the podcast “Family Secrets.” The latter features guests who have unearthed long-held, life-changing secrets from their family’s past.

Hunter won an Oscar for her lead role in Jane Campion’s “The Piano,” and received nominations for “Thirteen,” “The Firm,” and “Broadcast News.” She received Emmys for her work in TV movies “Roe vs. Wade” and “The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom.” Her more recent projects include “Mr. Mayor,” “Succession,” and “The Comey Rule.”
