Re-reworking the classics
Two more classics are being adapted for the screen again.
Netflix are producing a new adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca with a screenplay by Jane Goldman and direction by Ben Wheatley. The cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James and Armie Hammer. This will be the fourth time the novel has been filmed, following Hitchcock’s best picture Oscar winner and TV versions by both the BBC (1979) and ITV (1997).
