The Corrections is a film adaptation of the Jonathan Franzen novel of the same name. It has been in pre-production since 2002, with Robert Zemeckis currently set to direct the film. Producer Scott Rudin has acquired the rights to the film.
[edit] History
The Corrections has been in various stages of pre-production since 2002, at which point the novel was going to be adapted by screenwriter David Hare and director Stephen Daldry.[1] With the film in active pre-production, Jonathan Franzen gave Entertainment Weekly a wish cast-list for the film, saying, "If they told me Gene Hackman was going to do Alfred, I would be delighted. If they told me they had cast Cate Blanchett as [Alfred's daughter] Denise, I would be jumping up and down, even though officially I really don't care what they do with the movie."[2]
Then, in January 2005, Variety announced that, with Daldry presumably off the project, Robert Zemeckis was developing Hare's script "with an eye toward directing."[3] In August 2005, Variety confirmed that the director would definitely be helming The Corrections.[4] Around this time, it was rumored that the cast would include Judi Dench as the family matriarch Enid, along with Brad Pitt, Tim Robbins, and Naomi Watts.[5] Since then, however, nothing has been announced about the project.
Alejandro González Iñárritu has most recently been in talks with directing the film.[citation needed] George Clooney has also been in talks to direct and possibly star.[citation needed]
