News Get Over It Getting Rid of Rosie: Lynda Simmons’ Supernatural Comedy to Get Film Adaptation The film will go under the title, Get Over It By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on December 4, 2025 Comment 0 Share New Share Lynda Simmons’ 2009 novel, Getting Rid of Rosie, is getting a movie adaptation, with Shelly Hong on board to direct in her feature debut. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the two wanted to team up again after they worked together on the short Ed & Alfie. When they looked for a potential next project, they decided to adapt Simmons’ Getting Rid of Rosie, with the two co-writing the script. “I was expecting a fluffy romantic comedy, but it turned out to be a story about female relationships that was honest and had gravity,” Hong said in a statement. “I suggested making the main character Korean so I could contribute to the story, and when she agreed, I was on board.” The film adaptation is titled Get Over It and has the following synopsis: Karma breaks all the rules to give Samantha Choi until midnight to choose the life she truly wants. That’s assuming Samantha gets rid of the ghost of Rosie Fisk, a best friend who ruined that life and has no intention of walking into any damn light. The blurb for the book sheds a bit more light on the premise, though it’s not confirmed that these plot points carry over to the film. In the novel, Rosie runs off with Samantha’s fiancé and marries him instead. Flash forward seven years, and Sam’s former fiancé is back in her life as a widower, with Rosie’s ghost hovering over them both, though only Sam can see her. The movie version will presumably star Tina Jung, Donald MacLean Jr., and Mimi Kuzyk, as they starred in a proof of concept short for the story. No news on when the film will make its way to a screen near you, though production is expected to start in Canada sometime in mid-2026.
