Is 'All My Rage' Being Adapted Into A Movie Or TV Show?

The buzz around 'All My Rage' potentially getting a screen adaptation has been swirling for a while now, and as someone who devoured the book in one sitting, I’m equal parts excited and nervous. Sabaa Tahir’s storytelling is so visceral—it’s not just about plot but the raw emotions that cling to you for days. Translating that to film or TV would require a team that understands the weight of those quiet, devastating moments as much as the explosive ones. Rumors popped up last year about production companies eyeing the rights, but nothing’s been officially confirmed. I’ve scoured every interview Tahir’s done recently, and she’s dropped hints about ‘exciting conversations’ without spilling details. Given how meticulously she crafts her worlds, I doubt she’d hand over the reins unless the vision aligned perfectly.

What makes 'All My Rage' such a compelling candidate for adaptation is its duality—the way it oscillates between past and present, Pakistan and California, love and fury. A director with a knack for nonlinear narratives (think 'The Godfather' or 'This Is Us') could do wonders with it. Casting would be critical, though. Salahudin and Noor’s chemistry isn’t just romantic; it’s a tangle of shared history and resentment that demands actors who can convey volumes with a glance. And Misbah’s backstory? That’s Oscar-bait material if handled right. I’d kill to see Lulu Wang or Destin Daniel Cretton take this on—they’ve got the sensitivity for cultural nuance and the guts to keep the story unflinchingly real. Until we get official news, I’ll just be here rereading the motel scenes and imagining how they’d look in Cinemascope.
