EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: Management and production company 42<\/a> (The Courier<\/em>) is teaming with new LA-based label A-Major Media<\/a> to develop and produce Megan Chan Meinero<\/a>’s play Good Fortune<\/em> for film. New York playwright Chan Meinero is writing the adaptation.<\/p>\n

Mary Lee, previously head of film at Justin Lin’s Perfect Storm Entertainment, is producing for A-Major, which she set up last year year to champion Asian-American voices in film and TV. Ben Pugh and Claudia Shin will produce for LA and London-based 42.<\/p>\n

Developed in New York with the New Group and Ensemble Studio Theatre, the darkly comic social satire Good Fortune<\/em> tells the story of Mei-Ling, who was adopted at birth from China by Julie, an American woman who wanted a daughter that would love her and be with her forever. Eighteen years later, Mei-Ling is ready to go to college, but Julie has a different plan.<\/p>\n

42’s recent productions include Cold War thriller The Courier<\/em> (previously Ironbark),<\/em> starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rachel Brosnahan, which launched at Sundance, and Julian Fellowes Netflix series The English Game<\/em>. Adam Randall’s Night Teeth<\/em> and Outside The Wire<\/em> with Anthony Mackie are in post-production.<\/p>\n

A-Major operates via an independent development fund from majority investor MRC in association with UTA. Projects in development include Untitled Elliot San with John Cho producing and set-up at New Line, and the adaptation of Celeste Ng’s first novel, Everything I Never Told You<\/em>, which is being lined up as a limited series with Annapurna Television. Prior to Perfect Storm, Lee worked at companies including The Walcott Company, Management 360 and Good Universe.<\/p>\n

Chan Meinero’s plays have been produced and developed with Ensemble Studio Theatre, The New Group, The Flea Theater and Rule of 7×7, among others. She is repped by CAA and Grandview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
