Colleen Hoover has once again adapted one of her works for the big screen. The author, known for books like «It Ends with Us» and «Regretting You», - collaborated with a new cast and crew to create a film based on «Reminders of Him». The plot follows Kenna Rowan, who is trying to regain custody of her daughter, Scotty Landry, years after serving time in prison for a car accident that killed her boyfriend.
As expected from any book adaptation, the film «Reminders of Him» differs from Colleen’s original material, and fans have noticed this.
Here’s everything you need to know about «Reminders of Him».
In the film, Kenna Rowan is played by Minka Kelly, known for her roles in horror films. Kenna is a former inmate who served seven years for a car accident. Tyreek Hill from «Tell Me Lies» plays Ledger Ward, a former NFL player and owner of a local bar, while Rudy Pankow from «Outer Banks» portrays Scotty Landry, Kenna’s boyfriend who died in the accident.
The rest of the main cast includes Lauren Graham as Grace Landry, Bradley Whitford as Patrick Landry, Lainey Wilson as Amy, and Jennifer Robertson as Ruth.
As of now, the film «Reminders of Him» was released in theaters on March 13, 2026. The release date on streaming platforms has not yet been announced.
Fans of the original book have noticed one significant difference between the film and the book: the absence of a sex scene between Kenna and Ledger. It turns out that the scene was filmed but did not make it into the final cut.
«I shot it. We shot it», - director Vanessa Caswill said in an interview after the film’s premiere. «And unfortunately, it’s not in the film». When asked if this would have affected the PG-13 rating, Vanessa admitted, «Partially. In fact, the studio really loved that scene. They said, 'It's a good sex scene!'»
In another interview with Deadline, Vanessa was asked how she approached adapting Colleen’s book.
«I feel that if there is source material, then for me personally, it’s very important to dive into it. I use the book as a Bible for all those projects you mentioned, and I find that it gives me a lot of clues and additional details that I wouldn’t get if I just had the script», - the director said. «So I really value the book and, obviously, I’m well aware that Colleen Hoover has a huge fan base that loves this book, and I wanted to create something that A) was true to her book, and B) that her fans felt the same way. The only way to try to do that is to capture the essence of everything that is in the book as much as possible. It’s difficult because everyone who reads the book will have a personal interpretation, so you can never please everyone. But I really feel that the essence of this book, and what Colleen was writing about even on a subconscious level, is present on screen»
