Focus Features and Sam Mendes Set for Netherland

By • September 17, 2009 • 1 Comment

Focus Features has teamed Sam Mendes’ Neal Street Prods.  and Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Prods. to develop a feature adaptation of Netherland, a novel by Joseph O’Neill which Harpo optioned last year when it was published.

Christopher Hampton is set to write the script for a potential directing vehicle for Mendes. Netherland won O’Neill the 2009 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. The novel is set in New York City, where a lonely Dutch expatriate becomes drawn to the sport of cricket and forms an unlikely bond to immigrant culture.

Hampton previously worked with Focus Features on Atonement, earning an Oscar nomination for his script. Mendes got a lot of acclaim this year for his film, Away We Go which has had lots of positive reviews and some speculate it may make some waves in the Awards season.

Mendes has also been rumored to be directing a live-action adaptation of the graphic novel Preacher for Columbia Pictures with John August writing the script.
