Production
In an October 2010 interview, author Janet Evanovich stated that Tri-Star had purchased the rights to thirteen years previously, and had been in development hell since that time. When asked about the status of the movie, Janet Evanovich commented, "Hard to believe they've been sitting on this multi-million dollar franchise for all these years but go figure."[1] In February 2010, Variety announced that Katherine Heigl had been cast to play Stephanie Plum.[2] In April 2010, Lions Gate Entertainment announced that they had acquired distribution rights, would co-produce with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and Lakeshore Entertainment (which had acquired the rights from Columbia), and Julie Ann Robinson (The Last Song) would direct.[3]
The film adaptation was produced by Tom Rosenberg for Lakeshore Entertainment, with Katherine Heigl playing the role of Stephanie Plum. The production shot in metropolitan Pittsburgh from July to early September 2010. Principal photography began the week of July 12, 2010, in the borough of Ambridge in suburban Beaver County, and continued in six different locations in the town.[4] Pittsburgh's Central Northside neighborhood as well as the recently shuttered UPMC facility in the inner suburb of Braddock, will double for the book's setting of Trenton, New Jersey, neighborhoods and government buildings.[5]
Release
The film was released on January 27, 2012.[6][7]
