Production

One for the Money was optioned by Tri-Star Motion Pictures^[1] shortly after being published and was in "pre-production" ever since. When asked about the status of the movie, Janet Evanovich commented, "Hard to believe they've been sitting on this multi-million dollar franchise for all these years but go figure."^[2]

The film adaptation was produced by Tom Rosenberg for Lakeshore Entertainment, with Katherine Heigl playing the role of Stephanie Plum. The production shot in metropolitan Pittsburgh from July to early September 2010. Principal photography began the week of July 12, 2010, in the borough of Ambridge in suburban Beaver County, and continued in six different locations in the town.^[3] Pittsburgh's Central Northside neighborhood as well as the recently shuttered UPMC facility in the inner suburb of Braddock, will double for the book's setting of Trenton, New Jersey, neighborhoods and government buildings.^[4]

Pittsburgh's Central Northside neighborhood, specifically the historic Garden Theater and burlesque district, was used in the film to recreate a gritty Trenton inner city neighborhood. It is the same block and buildings, complete with theater marquee, used in the 1979 sports/cult classic The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh as the office and home of the film's astrologist heroine Mona (Stockard Channing).^{[citation needed]}

Release

Release is tentatively scheduled for January 27, 2012.^[5][6]
