Fresh off last year’s Oscar winning The Darkest Hour, Joe Wright is next setting his sights on The Woman in the Window, a thriller for Fox 2000 that adapts the book by A.K. Finn.
Amy Adams has been set in the lead role, and THR reports today that Julianne Moore is now in negotiations to join Adams in Wright’s next.
In the film, Adams will play a child psychologist with severe agoraphobia (and a penchant for mixing alcohol with her medication) who hasn’t left her house in months. The woman believes she witnessed a horrible crime involving a new neighboring family but no one, including the police, will believe her.
Moore will play the mother of a mysterious young boy who moves in across the street.
Tracy Letts wrote the script. Scott Rudin and Eli Bush are producing.
