According to Variety Cold Mountain director, Anthony Minghella has committed to write and direct a feature for Miramax Films based on British author Liz Jensen’s forthcoming novel The Ninth Life of Louis Drax.
The book isn’t due for publication until June in the UK and January in the US, but readers can look forward to the novel, which is a surreal psychological thriller about an accident-prone 9-year-old problem child lying in a deep coma and the doctor who cares for him.
