Yes, Polley’s doing Little Women
Actress-turned-director Sarah Polley has confirmed reports that she’s working on a new big-screen adaptation of Little Women.
“I’m writing Little Women and I’m writing my own film as well,” Polley told The Canadian Press.
“And then I’m producing Alias Grace as a miniseries, which I’ve been writing for a long time, and it’s now written in six, one-hours and hopefully will go into production either this year or next year,” she added, referring to an adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel.
Polley, who got a 2008 Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for Away from Her, said she’s “always writing.”
“But writing is something you can do while a baby naps, so it’s perfect,” added the mother of two.
“But the idea of going back out into the world and making my own stuff, it’s not immediate. My youngest is still 7 months, so I’m not jumping back on a film set right away. But it’s something that I’m excited to do.”
