Japanese Breakfast’s Crying In H Mart Movie Put On Hold

Plans have been underway for years to adapt Crying In H Mart, the bestselling memoir from Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner, into a movie. The project was announced way back in 2021, and it picked up a lot of momentum in 2023. Will Sharpe was hired as director, there was an open casting call, and Zauner discussed the project at the New Yorker Festival. Now it seems the movie is in limbo.
