This comes after various director changes during the project’s term at Lionsgate.
Panorama Media will come on to produce, finance and will handle foreign sales on the film. Based on the book, the script is written by David O’Russell.
The film will be produced by Darko Entertainment’s Sean McKittrick, Natalie Portman, Annette Savitch and Allison Shearmur of Allison Shearmur Productions. It will be executive produced by Darko’s Edward H. Hamm Jr., Aleen Keshishian and Panorama’s Marc Butan.
The team is currently out to directors, and the film will be packaged for Cannes where Panoramas international sales unit, headed by Kimberly Fox, plans to introduce the title. CAA, which brokered the deal on behalf of the filmmakers, represents the films domestic distribution rights.
