Blake Lively has just lined up her feature directorial debut, with Deadline reporting that the former Gossip Girl star will soon be adapting a film version of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel Seconds—O’Malley’s well-received follow-up to Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.
Lively first got into directing professionally last year, in about as high profile way as a newcomer might be able to bear: Directing the Miles Teller-featuring video for “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version),” part of the roll-out of Taylor Swift’s re-release project Red (Taylor’s Version). Which is actually weirdly fitting for this new project, since the basic theme of Seconds is the urge to go back and make a better version of the past.
