Director Hired

Element Pictures will produce with Imperative Entertainment and Lanthimos, in association with Discovery Productions. “The Favourite” is up for 10 Oscars this weekend, including best picture and director.

Gunpowder & Sky is partnering with screenwriters Nora Kletter and Grainne Belluomo to adapt Cristin Terrill’s suspense novel Here Lies Daniel Tate into a feature film. They are making a gender twist, though, making the film’s protagonist a teen girl, Danielle, rather than a boy, Daniel.
The film’s plot will kick off when 10-year-old Danielle Tate goes missing from an elite California community, only to resurface six years later in Vancouver before being reunited with her family as she tries to recover lost memories.

Gunpowder & Sky has acquired the rights to Cristin Terrill’s award-winning suspense novel Here Lies Daniel Tate to develop into a feature film. They are also partnering with screenwriters Nora Kletter (Queen Sized) and Grainne Belluomo to adapt the book but are changing the protagonist from male to female.
The logline: When 10-year-old Danielle Tate goes missing from one of California’s most elite communities, and left no trace. She simply vanished. Six years later, when she resurfaces on a snowy street in Vancouver, she’s no longer the same girl. Her sandy hair is darker, the freckles are gone, and she’s initially too traumatized to speak, but she’s alive. Her overjoyed family brings her home to a world of luxury and comfort she can barely remember. In time, they assure her, she’ll recover her memories; all that matters now is they’re together again. It’s perfect.
