Overview
- Regretting You, adapted from Colleen Hoover’s 2019 novel, is now playing in U.S. theaters with Allison Williams and Mckenna Grace leading the cast alongside Mason Thames, Scott Eastwood, Dave Franco, and Willa Fitzgerald.
- Mason Thames and McKenna Grace told Entertainment Weekly the production felt distinctly different from the prior Hoover adaptation’s off-screen legal dispute and said filming proceeded with a normal, focused tone.
- New coverage highlights notable adaptation choices, including the relocation to North Carolina and streamlined character histories that reduce emphasis on some supporting roles.
- The film condenses early high school timelines and relationship groundwork compared with the novel, reflecting a tighter on-screen narrative than the book’s deeper setup.
- Grace said she studied the source material extensively and collaborated with Thames to carry over details for fans, emphasizing fidelity to character over plot-by-plot replication.
