Chloé Zhao has announced her next directing project will be a feature adaptation of Hamnet, a historical fiction bestseller by Maggie O’Farrell.
After winning multiple Academy Awards for her film Nomadland and directing Marvel’s Eternals, Chloé Zhao’s career has been one that many have been watching very closely. But, after filming those back to back, she decided to take a break and fans have been left waiting to see what her next project will be. Well, that day has come, Deadline is reporting that Zhao will be directing and co-writing an adaptation of Hamnet.
Hamnet will be based on the New York Times Bestselling historical fiction novel of the same name by Maggie O’Farrell. The novel follows Agnes, the wife of the famed playwright William Shakespeare, in the aftermath of the death of Hamnet, their only son. The story “charts the emotional, familial and artistic consequences of that loss, bringing to life a human and heart-stopping story as the backdrop to the creation of Shakespeare’s most famous play, Hamlet.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Zhao’s name being attached to this project as both a director and writer is exciting, to say the least. The filmmaker’s last two projects have both been big hits. Her most recent film was Eternals, an installment in the biggest film franchise of all time with a star-studded cast. Before that was the critical juggernaut of Nomadland.
Stay tuned to Collider for any future updates on the production of Hamnet. While we wait for more updates, check out Collider’s interview with Zhao about Eternals:
