Exclusive: Lionsgate has bolstered its Afm sales lineup with romance The Kiss Quotient, based on the well-received 2018 book by Helen Hoang.
Combining elements of 50 Shades Of Grey, Pretty Woman and Crazy Rich Asians, The Kiss Quotient follows Stella, a brilliant econometrician on the autism spectrum who knows everything about algorithms but nothing about romance. In an effort to grow comfortable with the idea of dating, she hires a male escort to help her better understand relationships — but she doesn’t expect that they will find themselves completely entranced by one another.
Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group is collaborating on the project’s development and production with subsidiary production house Pilgrim Media Group, which won screen rights to the novel in a competitive situation earlier this year shortly after it was published by Penguin Random House imprint Berkley Jove Trade Paperback Originals. A screenwriter has yet to be set.

In The Kiss Quotient, Silicon Valley econometrician Stella Lane finds herself in a quandary that mathematics can’t solve. Her parents think it’s time for her to start thinking about marriage – a prospect that means dating…and sex.
