Hollywood stars Zoe Saldana and Reese Witherspoon are teaming up to adapt Tembi Locke’s memoir From Scratch as a series for Netflix. Saldana will star in and executive produce the limited series, which is being described as an autobiographical romance that follows an American woman as she falls in love with a Sicilian man while studying in Italy and then builds a life with him in the US. It is about how she comes to terms with his death, and raises their daughter.
“This is a profound true story of love and family, deprivation and nourishment, which needs to be brought to life on the screen as Tembi Locke brought it vividly to life for me on the page. We are grateful to Netflix and thrilled to be working with Reese, Lauren, Attica and 3 Arts on this wonderful project,” said Saldana.
From Scratch was published in April. — IANS
