'Rebecca' gets a new Hollywood makeover

Posted by Hollie Cruickshank in Book News, TV, Film & Radio News

Dreamworks is going to remake Daphne DuMaurier's classic novel Rebecca. This timeless story, of a young bride whose marriage is shadowed by her husband's late wife, is a World Book Night title and will be available as a Virago Modern Classic hardback.

The film will be scripted by Stephen Knight of 'Eastern Promises' and 'Dirty Pretty Things' fame, who says he will go back to the novel instead of focusing on the Hitchcock version.

We personally can't wait!
