Busy mother-of-two Amy Huberman is reportedly working on the second draft of a screenplay for a new movie it has been revealed this week.

The screenplay is said to be an adaptation of her book I Wished For You.

“It’s called Bolt and it’s based on the second book even though it’s quite different,” she explained to the Herald.

“I love it and it’s a great experience. It’s a female-led romantic comedy and it’s about a woman who has commitment issues.

“It’s a different format to my background which is writing books and even though I read hundreds of scripts for auditions, it was different putting all of that into words, literally, myself.”

She added that the script is currently “only a baby” as she is still working on the second draft.

“I’d like to star in it, that’s the goal. It would be great fun,” she continued. “It’s amazing to be able to write for yourself and that’s been fun.

“You do get selfish and you have to remind yourself not to take all the good lines.”

It is understood that the film will go into production later this year.
