LOS ANGELES (AP) — Audrey Wells, who wrote the screenplay for the brand new feature film "The Hate U Give," died the day before the film was released after a five-year battle with cancer. She was 58.

A representative from United Talent Agency said Wells died Thursday.

Wells also wrote and directed the 2003 romantic comedy "Under the Tuscan Sun."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "That's how it works," actress and director Sarah Polley recalls Harvey Weinstein saying to her years ago in his office. If she agreed to a "very close relationship" with him she could go on to be a star and win awards, he said.
