There are few books that have connected people and told stories. These stories include those that are important to our planet, environmentally and ecologically. Authors and filmmakers need to work a lot on not turning a certain book or movie into a biography or a documentary. This is where addition and mixing of stories play a crucial role.
Now it looks like Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams have found the perfect one for a movie. In recent news it was disclosed that the rights of “Finding The Mother Tree” by author Suzzane Simard has been sold to the production houses of Amy Adams’ Bond Group Entertainment and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Nine Stories. The memoir that was launched on 4th of May, 2021, tells a very intricate and beautiful story that has been considered a very important one in terms of ecological and environmental matters.
The movie will star Amy Adams as Simard herself. The story follows Simard, who is a world-renowned scientist and ecologist who first discovers how trees communicate underground through a massive network of fungi. The story will follow Simard who is not only a scientist but also a mother. The story centers on Mother Trees which are considered as mysterious, powerful forces that connect and sustain the lives surrounding them.
Suzzane Simard is a world renowned scientist and ecologist and her works and theories have been considered of “planetary significance”. This is not the first work of hers that is inspiring a movie, earlier too it has inspired authors and filmmakers. The Tree of Souls in James Cameron’s Avatar to the main character in Richard Powers’ novel Overstory, many of these have come up as inspiration from her work.
