A movie about chocolate? We are here for it!
One of the world’s most famous chocolate companies is getting a film.
'Hershey' will be based on the creation of the iconic brand, with Mark Waters, who made 'Mean Girls' and 'Freaky Friday', set to direct it.
American Horror Story's Finn Wittrock and The White Lotus' Alexandra Daddario will star in the film.
The story follows "Milton Hershey, (played by Finn) who, alongside his wife Kitty, (played by Alexandra) built a candy empire that powered a philanthropic legacy. In 1909, Milton and Kitty founded the Hershey Industrial School, which provided free education and housing to orphans and underprivileged children."
According to Variety: "Twenty years before his death, Milton transferred the majority of his fortune into the Milton Hershey School Trust, planting the seed for one of the wealthiest educational endowments in the country. In developing a town around their chocolate factory, the Hersheys also built cinemas, recreation centers and public transportation for their workers."
