When Adrienne Shelly was murdered in 2006 at the age of 40, everyone thought Sundance favorite Waitress would be the last movie of hers we ever saw. But Waitress actress Cheryl Hines has already directed one of Shelly's screenplays, Serious Moonlight, and now Shelly's husband Andy Ostroy will develop and produce her final screenplay.
The Morgan Stories is described in The Hollywood Reporter as "a multigenerational family drama that revolves around three sisters and follows them over the course of several decades." Ostroy and producing partner Michael Roiff lent a hand to Serious Moonlight, and may partner to produce Morgan Stories again.
Ostroy started A Films in order to maintain his wife's legacy, and told THR that Morgan Stories "is all about Adrienne, just like the name of the company says." If Morgan Stories is half as genuine and heartfelt as Waitress, Ostroy will be doing us all a favor by putting his wife's voice onscreen one more time.
