Harry Styles fan fiction "After" to get movie adaptation

"I was a struggling army wife going to community college who didn't know what to do with my life," Todd told the BBC.

Writer Anna Todd's "After" book series, which initially began as Harry Styles fan fiction, is being turned now into "After The Movie".

The movie is set to star Harry Potter's Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Hardin Scott (the original Harry Styles character) alongside Josephine Langford.

"I was a struggling army wife going to community college who didn't know what to do with my life," Todd told the BBC.

Congratulations to Samuel and Shane booking the feature film AFTER adapted from Anna Todd's best-selling novels. Samuel was one of the co-winners of the first season of THE GLEE PROJECT,… https://t.co/L4Ts1hxL9m

"I would read a lot of fan fiction on (publishing website) Wattpad and felt I had read everything so one day I decided to write a chapter. When I started I had no followers but I did it for fun. After I wrote the first chapter I wanted to know what happened so every day I would write a chapter and it became more popular," she added.

Till date, the book has sold 11 million copies, while the online version has had 1.5 billion views.
