English director to make film novel on India

English director Joe Wright will adapt Alex von Tunzelmann's book Indian Summer.

Published in 2007, the book chronicles the last days of Britain's colonial rule in India and the symbolic end of their status as a world superpower. William Nicholson, is adapting the book for Wright to direct early next year in India. Working Title will produce and Universal will distribute the film.

"After making The Soloist in Los Angeles, I was looking for something that was primarily about the British experience," Wright told Variety.
