Posted by AuthorFranck Tabouring | DateWednesday, March 11, 2009 at 10:29PM | In ,

Joe Wright is set to direct the big-screen adaptation of Alex von Tunzelmann's book "Indian Summer" for Universal and Working Title.

According to Variety, William Nicholson is writing the screenplay. His credits include "Gladiator" and "Elizabeth: The Golden Age."

Von Tunzelmann's story chronicles the final days of Britain's colonial rule in India, as Lord Mountbatten is sent to watch over the transition of power to Jawaharlal Nehru.

The trade says the project will head into principal photography early next year.

Wright's credits include "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement." His next drama, "The Soloist," stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx and will open April, 24, 2009.
