Ron Howard will direct an adaptation of "The Emperor's Children," Claire Messud's 2006 novel about New York's upper crust, based on a script by Noah Baumbach.
The book is about Ivy League grads approaching their 30s with trepidation in 2001. Baumbach, a writer who has shown an affinity for writing about the East Coast elite and this sounds a bit like his earlier movie, "Kicking and Screaming".
Howard's busy directing schedule includes "Frost/Nixon," "Angels & Demons," the prequel to "The Da Vinci Code" for Columbia. Imagine has also set up remakes of the French thriller "Cache" and '70s sci-fi film "Colossus: The Forbin Project" as possible directing projects for Howard.
Baumbach has also written and directed "The Squid and the Whale" and the upcoming "Margot at the Wedding."
