Variety reports that Joe Wright has been signed on to direct The Woman in the Window, a thriller adapted from a novel of the same name written by New York Times-bestselling author A.J. Finn.
The Woman in the Window tells the story of Dr. Anna Fox, a recluse in New York City who drinks her days away alone in her apartment, watching classic films and her neighbors.
It has enjoyed the top spot at the New York Times Bestseller list, and continues to sell since its launch in January.
Writing the screenplay is Tracy Letts, actor and playwright, who has won a Puitzer Prize for August, Osage County.
