The movie adaptation of “Small Great Things” has not been released, and there is limited information on its current status.
Jodi Picoult’s 2016 novel “Small Great Things” was set to be adapted into a film, with Viola Davis and Julia Roberts rumored to star in it. The story, which deals with issues of race, privilege, and justice, follows the experience of an African American labor and delivery nurse who faces discrimination and a court case after the death of a newborn child under her care.
The film was announced in 2017, and it was to be produced by Marc Platt, who has been involved in movies like “La La Land” and “Bridge of Spies.” However, since the initial announcement, there have been few updates on the project’s progress. This lack of news could be due to a variety of factors, such as difficulties with the script, challenges in securing a director, or scheduling conflicts with the cast.
It’s also possible that the project has been put on hold or shelved entirely. This is not uncommon in Hollywood, where film projects can stall for an indefinite period due to creative differences, budgetary constraints, or shifts in studio priorities. Without official updates from the production companies or the involved parties, the status of the “Small Great Things” movie remains uncertain. Fans of the book looking forward to the adaptation can only hope for more information to be released in the future.
