The author of the book is adapting the screenplay himself, to be directed by Darren, who famously once dated Jennifer Lawrence.
Bad Bunny’s latest professional coup comes on the heels of his rekindled summer romance with supermodel and reality star Kendall Jenner.
They first went public as a couple in February 2023, but by the end of that year it emerged that they had brought the curtain down on their relationship.
‘Kendall and Bad Bunny have been doing their own things lately and things slowly started to fizzle out between them,’ an insider informed Entertainment Tonight.
‘They have crazy busy schedules and know they’re still young and have a lot more to experience individually before settling down.’
However the source insisted that there was no ‘negativity between them’ and added that ‘Kendall’s family still thinks highly of him.’
By the first Monday of this May, Kendall and Bad Bunny were spotted together at a Met Gala afterparty, igniting a feverish round of reunion rumors.
A few weeks later an insider confirmed they were back on, explaining to People: ‘There wasn’t ever any drama in their breakup and they missed each other.’

They apparently split last year because they were ‘not on the same page in life’ and ‘needed the break to miss each other enough to figure things out.’
The supermodel and the rap star ‘always had this crazy attraction to each other,’ the insider dished, adding: ‘Things are great again.’
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Ocasio, was allegedly displeased when he caught wind of the rumors that Kendall was considering getting back together with her previous ex, basketball heartthrob Devin Booker.
The source shared that ‘Benny was not happy that Kendall was dating’ and had ‘been wanting her back,’ noting that since their relationship resumed ‘Kendall is happy. Benny is very charming and is always sweet to her.’
