Caitlin Moran feature eyes summer filming

Caitlin MoranA feature adaptation of Caitlin Moran’s fiction debut for adults, How to Build a Girl, is currently eyeing a summer start to filming. 

First published in 2014, the novel centres on Johanna Morrigan, a young girl who moves from a Wolverhampton council estate to life as a music writer in London in the 1990s.

Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s niece Dolly, Morrigan adopts Dolly as an alter-ego and reinvents herself as a hard-drinking, witty, rock ‘n’ roll type.  

How to Build a Girl comes from Monumental Pictures, the production company founded in 2014 by Alison Owen and Debra Hayward.
