Brooklyn director John Crowley is nearing a deal to follow-up his Oscar-nominated drama with an adaptation of Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer prize-winning novel The Goldfinch.
Before making Brooklyn, which netted three Oscar nominations, including best picture and best actress for Saoirse Ronan, the Irish film-maker was best known for helming the small-scale dramas Intermission and Boy A. The latter won Crowley the Bafta for best director in 2007.
Crowley is a seasoned Broadway director, previous projects including A Behanding in Spokane, A Steady Rain and The Pillowman.
Before he makes The Goldfinch, Crowley is directing Cate Blanchett in her Broadway debut early next year.
