Amy Adams will star in the movie adaptation of AJ Finn’s best-selling 2018 novel The Woman in the Window, the author announced on Twitter on Thursday. The Fox 2000 production is being directed by Joe Wright (Darkest Hour) with a screenplay by Tracy Letts.
A Woman in the Window tells the story of psychologist Anna Fox, who spends much of her time holed up in her apartment, drinking alcohol and spying on her neighbours when she chances upon something she should never have seen. The book debuted No. 1 on the New York Times Bestsellers’ List.
Very happy and proud to announce that five-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams — star of Arrival, American Hustle, Enchanted, Nocturnal Animals, DC’s Superman movies, and many others — will be playing Dr. Anna Fox in the film adaptation of #thewomaninthewindow.
