EXCLUSIVE: Filmmaker Unjoo Moon has signed on to direct the Alloy Entertainment book adaptation Frankly in Love for Paramount Players, Deadline has learned.

The first trailer has dropped for I Am Woman, the upcoming biopic on Helen Reddy, the singer and songwriter whose 1971 song became a '70s women's movement anthem. Unjoo Moon, the director behind the 2012 Tony Bennett documentary The Zen of Bennett, helms this story about the ambitious female singer's personal and professional life.

Singer Helen Reddy became a ‘70s feminist icon with the unlikely hit song “I Am Woman.” Now, the true story of a fight to make her voice heard along with the movement that surrounded it is portrayed in the titular “I Am Woman.” The film seeks to introduce younger generations to Reddy while also inspiring those who remember the famous tune’s striking message.

WestEnd Films has closed a North American deal with Jeff Sackman and Berry Meyerowitz’s company Aqute Media for “I Am Woman,” the biopic about Australian star Helen Reddy.
