Danish director Susanne Bier – whose In A Better World won last year’s Best Foreign Language Film Oscar – will direct an adaption of Abraham Verghese‘s best-seller Cutting For Stone for Anonymous Content. [Variety]
The film, scripted by That Evening Sun writer-director Scott Teems, will be “a riveting saga of twin brothers, Marion and Shiva Stone, born of a tragic union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon at a mission hospital in Addis Ababa. Orphaned by their mother’s death in childbirth and their father’s disappearance, and bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution.” Synopsis courtesy of the novel’s website. This Sunday marks the novel’s impressive 105th consecutive New York Times’ trade paperback bestseller list, indicating a high level of public interest in this story.
