By Express News Service

The critically acclaimed filmmaker Alma Har’el will helm the adaption of Walter Tevis’ 1980 novel, Mockingbird. The Honey Boy director will work alongside Searchlight Pictures to deliver Tevis’ Nebula Award-nominated fiction to life. 

Set in an apocalyptic future, Mockingbird tells the story of a boring and gloomy time for Earth and people. That hope rests on the shoulders of an advanced love triangle between a person, girl, and android.Backing Har’el within the manufacturing of Mockingbird will likely be producer J Miles Dale and Robert Schwartz. Har’el may even function a producer alongside her longtime collaborator Christopher Leggett. 

Har’el rose to fame when she helmed the Shia LaBeouf led movie Honey Boy in 2019. Next, she’ll direct and government produce Apple TV+’s restricted sequence Lady within the Lake, starring Natalie Portman and Lupita Nyong’o. A launch date just isn’t but set for Mockingbird.
