The Hollywood Reporter carries word that Jens Jonsson is set to write and direct The Leisure Seeker for Sharp Independent at HarperCollins.

The film is based on Michael Zadoorian’s new novel, which tells the story of an elderly couple who, against the advice of their family, take a road trip down Route 66 to spend their remaining time on their own terms.

Shooting is set to begin by summer in Michigan. Jeffrey Sharp will produce.
