Here is a brief synopsis of the project:

Two teens who live the same day repeatedly, enabling them to create the titular map. A magical realist romance, the character of Mark takes advantage of reliving the same day over and over by reading his way through a library. When he meets Margaret, who’s also aware of the time loop, they set out to find every amazing event — no matter how big or small — that occurred on that day.

Sierra Burgess Is a Loser director Ian Samuels will helm the project from writer Lev Grossman (The Magicians). Greg Lessans (My Best Friends Girl),  Aaron Ryder (Arrival), and  Ashley Fox (Promising Young Woman) will produce alongside Goldsman.

Production on the project is expected to kick off in February in Alabama, with casting underway.
