Alex Garland revealed the news that somebody is apparently working on another adaptation of The Beach, but he doesn’t reveal anything beyond the fact that he finds them to be talented.
Also, Garland calls it a “possible” adaptation, which means it like;y hasn’t been given the green light, all the more reason he can’t say anything.
So, is somebody else working on a script or he is working a script?
With the fact that this project has never been officially announced, Garland would need to be cagey about any response that he gave, the studio wouldn’t like it if he spilled the beans about the project before they were ready.
