Jill Soloway ("Transparent") will direct "Ride," a biopic about Sally Ride, for Lionsgate, reports Collider.
"Ride" will chronicle the legendary mission that led Sally Ride to become the first American woman in space. Kristin Burr ("Cruella") will produce the film under her Burr! Productions banner, while Soloway and Andrea Sperling ("Professor Marston & The Wonder Woman") will produce through their company Topple.
"Sally Ride is an American hero and icon whose life and career was and is endlessly fascinating and inspirational," said Nathan Kahane, president of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. "In the hands of Jill Soloway and our tremendous team of producers, we feel we have the right storytellers to honor and properly tell Sally’s incredible story."
