Michelle Zauner's CRYING IN H-MART Will Be Adapted Into a Film

Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast) announces that MGM's Orion Pictures have acquired the rights to adapt her New York Times Best Selling memoir, Crying In H Mart, for the screen with Stacey Sher and Jason Kim producing, and Japanese Breakfast providing the soundtrack for the film. Crying In H Mart is available now via Knopf.

"It is a surreal thrill to have the opportunity to memorialize my mother in film, and I consider it of the highest honor to pursue that task alongside creative luminaries such as Stacey Sher, Jason Kim and Orion Pictures," says Zauner.

Over the weekend Japanese Breakfast appeared on CBS This Morning, where the band played "Be Sweet," "Kokomo, IN," and "Tactics," three songs from their critically acclaimed new album, Jubilee, out now via Dead Oceans.

Japanese Breakfast has also expanded their summer and fall tours, which kick off July 28th in Asbury Park, NJ. All dates below.
