In the midst of challenges within her Hollywood journey, Meghan Markle is poised for a significant career move in 2024. According to Express.co.uk, an insider reveals that the Duchess of Sussex sees this as the opportune moment to transition from actor to auteur.
A senior production source stated, "She has her sights on claiming the director’s chair for at least one major project this year."
Notably, Meghan's production company, Archewell Productions, is gearing up to bring the New York Times best-seller, "Meet Me At The Lake," to life as a film for the streaming giant Netflix. The author of the acclaimed fiction book, Carley Fortune, expressed her excitement, saying, "I can’t imagine a more perfect partnership."
However, insiders shared that Meghan, the former Suits actress, won't be directing Carley's romantic love story. Explaining the decision, an insider stated, "This film has faced delays due to strikes, and Netflix is eager to enlist an experienced director to expedite the process."
Nevertheless, the source emphasized that there's no reason why Meghan shouldn't take the helm of a less time-sensitive project in the coming months. Expressing her eagerness, the source added, "She's truly keen to seize her first 'hands-on' opportunity."
As Meghan Markle embarks on this pivotal career move, it underscores her determination to explore new creative horizons beyond her acting career and shape her narrative in the world of filmmaking.
