Todd Haynes is already planning his next foray into sumptuously photographed dissatisfied women. According to IndieWire, the director is planning a TV limited series based on The Source Family, the real-life hippie cult profiled in the 2013 documentary of the same name.

“Amazon Studios is nearing a deal to finance, produce and distribute writer-director Todd Haynes‘s Wonderstruck, which will reunite the director with Julianne Moore,” reports TheWrap‘s Jeff Sneider. “Based on the children’s novel by The Invention of Hugo Cabret author Brian Selznick, Wonderstruck follows the intertwined narratives of two deaf children, Ben and Rose. Ben lives with his family in Minnesota in 1977, when a mysterious note prompts him to run off to New York following his mother’s death. Rose, who is locked in a house in 1927 New Jersey, also escapes to New York to see her idol, film actress Lillian Mayhew.”

The spectrum of the Wonderstruck reviews is pretty fascinating, from "his worst" to "the film he was born to make."

it wasn't whimsical at all, it was so tonally precise

yeah, zero whimsy.
what can I say, i like actors who are better than Hudson and Wyman.

I assume Alfred's whimsy comment was aimed at the new one, not Carol.
I like or love most of Haynes' movies, but the source material for this one makes me skeptical. I didn't like Hugo, so reviews saying either "It's as good as Hugo" or "It's not as good as Hugo" don't do anything for me.

I tend to love Haynes when he's focused on music, less so on other topics but I did like Far From Heaven and Safe

def doesn't look like something that would interest children imo
I referred to the new one. The kids are better than the horrors in The FLorida Project though.

― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Sunday, 22 October 2017 03:26 (six years ago) link
I didn't think Carol (or Far From Heaven) was boring as much as straitjacketed by good taste and period detail. As for Wonderstruck, I will say that its period settings didn't strike me as nearly so restrictive. And I found the musical settings to be an exercise in obviousness, which I assume means it will get its only Oscar nomination in one of the sound categories.

. It was adapted most recently by Mario Correa and first writer Matthew Michael Carnahan from Nathaniel Rich’s New York Times Magazine article, “The Lawyer Who Became DuPont’s Worst Nightmare.”
Anne Hathaway stars opposite Ruffalo as Biliott’s wife, Sarah; she’s also the star of “The Last Thing He Wanted,” which Rees and Marco Villalobos adapted from the 1997 Joan Didion novel.
I'm quite confused.
