A classic novel about the past coming back to haunt the present, Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca (originally published in 1938) will be adapted by filmmaker Ben Wheatley as a new project for Netflix and Working Title Films.
Produced by Working Title’s Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan, as well as Nira Park, the new Rebecca movie will star Lily James (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) and Armie Hammer (who previously worked with Wheatley on Free Fire). According to Variety, Wheatley will direct from a screenplay by Jane Goldman, who has previously adapted books for the big screen with The Limehouse Golem, 2012's The Woman in Black, and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
Master of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock previously adapted Rebecca as a feature film in 1940.
There's no release date set for the new Rebecca adaptation yet, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on further announcements, and you can...
