David Cronenberg to direct Lethem's As She Climbed Across the Table
Cronenberg returns to The Fly territory with strange tale of a man who loses his love to a shapeless void
In recent years, he's successfully moved into more mainstream, if indubitably classy, fare but David Cronenberg's latest project looks like a return to the peculiar world of The Fly or Crash. The Canadian filmmaker is planning a big-screen adaptation of Jonathan Lethem's 1997 novel As She Climbed Across the Table, the tale of a man who loses the love of his life to a shapeless void.
