Production Weekly reports that helmer Terry George (Hotel Rwanda) will direct an adaptation of Jonathan Burnham Schwartz's novel Reservation Road. Schwartz adapted his novel for the big screen.
In the book, two haunted men and their families are engulfed by the emotions surrounding an unexpected and horrendous death. Ethan, a respected professor of literature at a small New England college, is wracked by an obsession with revenge that threatens to tear his family apart. Dwight, a man at once fleeing his crime and hoping to get caught, wrestles with overwhelming guilt and his sense of obligation to his son. As these two men's lives unravel, Reservation Road moves to its startling conclusion.
Filming is scheduled to begin in Connecticut this October.
