The production gets underway in April, helmed by “One Hour Photo” director Mark Romanek, reports Variety. The novel centers around a isolated boarding school with ominous secret, making a science fiction twist for Ishiguro–the author of “The Remains of the Day.”

Here’s more about the film company behind the adaptation: “DNA [Films], which has a longstanding partnership with Searchlight, has teamed with the specialty label on a number of films including ‘The Last King of Scotland’ and Danny Boyle’s ‘Sunshine’ and ’28 Days Later.'” (Via Gawker.)
