The Three Identical Strangers documentary told the fascinating true story of Robert Shafran, David Kellman, and Eddy Galland, three complete strangers who inadvertently discover that they are identical triplets separated at birth.
Deadline brings word that Oscar-nominated screenwriter Anthony McCarten (Bohemian Rhapsody, Darkest Hour, The Theory of Everything) will be writing the screenplay for a narrative feature adaptation based on the Three Identical Strangers documentary.
Three Identical Strangers was the highest-grossing limited release documentary of the year on its opening weekend and won the DGA Award for Documentary as well as prizes from Critics Choice and National Board of Review.
The documentary premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and was awarded the Special Jury Prize for Documentary Storytelling.
