‘Looking For Alaska’ Adaptation Will Be Directed by Sarah Polley
“Looking For Alaska was optioned for the big screen soon after its publication, and Polley is well positioned to adapt it, as she is no stranger to telling stories of emotional devastation. Her directorial debut, Away From Her, chronicled a woman’s battle with dementia, while the later Take This Waltz took an unflinching gaze at a crumbling marriage. Without giving away any of the plot, this movie will make you cry just as much as The Fault In Our Stars did.”
