Since the initial announcement, the only official update from Imperative has been that screenwriter Stephanie Shannon had signed on to adapt the book in 2015. Apart from Lockhart’s involvement, the only other names attached to the project were Imperative’s Bradley Thomas, Dan Friedkin and Zak Kadison as producers with Justin Catron as co-producer. Imperative’s acquisition of the film rights was great news to fans, especially because Lockhart herself had adapted the script. (A number of their films have made it to theaters but they also have many titles that are still in development, including We Were Liars, according to IMDb.) In 2014, Imperative was a brand new company, having formed just months earlier. Shortly after the book’s release, We Were Liars was optioned for a film adaptation by Imperative Entertainment, according to a report from Deadline at the time. Yes, We Were Liars was optioned for film in 2014, but there have been very few updates since that announcement. Unfortunately, the news on this front is slow, which might not be a good sign, but fans still shouldn’t lose hope. Here’s what we’ve been able to verify when it comes to the We Were Liars movie. The book was a massive hit, and talks about a movie popped up almost immediately - so what’s the status of the We Were Liars movie? Lockhart’s novel, We Were Liars, rocked the YA scene in 2014.
