Paul Greengrass is set to direct Sony Pictures' new version of George Orwell's novel '1984'.
The film will be produced by Gina Rosenblum, while the film will be written by James Graham, who wrote the book for the Broadway-bound musical Finding Neverland, Deadline.com reported.
Orwell's cautionary tale most recently was turned into a film by writer-director Michael Radford. Released in 1984, it starred John Hurt as the man who rewrites history as a job and attempts to rebel by falling in love with a woman, a dangerous endeavor in a repressive society.
