‘Regretting You’: Scott Eastwood Joins Latest Colleen Hoover Adaptation!!

Colleen Hoover’s next large screen project has tapped an iconic Hollywood performer whose name has been attached to a series of successful productions, including two in the Fast & Furious franchise. This person is none other than Scott Eastwood, who is joining the cast of Paramount’s Regretting You, according to Deadline. He is the latest addition announced only days after Strange Darling actress Willa Fitzgerald was cast. The duo joins Allison Williams, Dave Franco, Mckenna Grace, and Mason Thames in the pic based on Hoover’s 2019 bestselling novel of the same name.

Regretting You is scheduled for a theatrical release this fall, on October 24, with Hoover serving as executive producer alongside Williams, Franco, and Grace. In this highly anticipated adaptation, an unexpected car wreck takes the lives of two family members, which then unlocks a series of secrets, lies, and regrets. The people left behind can’t move forward without looking at the past. Furthermore, while the film explores what’s left behind after a tragedy, the messiness, and grief, it also delves into the beauty of life and love.

The Fault in Our Stars’ Josh Boone is directing and wrote the latest draft, which was first penned by Susan McMartin (After). Robert Kulzer is producing for Constantin Film alongside Brunson Green (The Help, Harbinger Pictures), Anna Todd (Frayed Pages Media), and Flavia Viotti. Regretting You comes after Hoover’s successful summer feature It Ends With Us, also based on her popular book. It was released in August 2024, starring Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively, and Brandon Sklenar, and earned over $351 million at the global box office against a production budget of $25 million.

Who Is Scott Eastwood?

Many may know Eastwood as the son of the legendary actor and filmmaker Clint Eastwood, but despite being a ‘nepo baby,’ he has also made a name for himself in the industry. Most recently, he starred alongside Tyrese Gibson and the late Ray Liotta in 1992 for director Ariel Vroman. He was also seen in Fast X, the tenth main installment in the Fast & Furious franchise, and in Amazon’s romantic comedy, I Want You Back, alongside Charlie Day, Jenny Slate, and Gina Rodriguez.

His other works include Guy Ritchie’s action thriller Wrath of Man, David Hackl’s Dangerous, Steven DeKnight’s Pacific Rim: Uprising for Legendary, F. Gary Gray’s The Fate of The Furious for Universal, Oliver Stone’s Snowden, David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and the war drama, Fury. Eastwood co-starred alongside Britt Robertson as champion bull-rider Luke Collins in the romantic drama The Longest Ride, based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks.
