Canadian-Korean director Shelly Hong and writer Lynda Simmons are reteaming to bring the novel Getting Rid of Rosie to the big screen.

Hong will direct the movie adaptation with the title Get Over It , likely in mid-2026 in Toronto or Hamilton, Ontario, as her debut feature. That follows Hong co-writing a screenplay with Simmons as part of a book optioning deal. Simmons penned Get Rid of Rosie as her debut novel.

Get Over It is billed as a female-led supernatural comedy where 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, according to a synopsis from the producers.
