Acquires rights to novel about famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright
By Robert Falconer | Tuesday, December 16, 2008
According to Variety, Lionsgate has acquired screen rights to "Loving Frank", a historical novel about architect Frank Lloyd Wright by Nancy Horan.
John Burnham Schwartz (Reservation Road) has been set to write the script.
"Frank" tells the pre-WWI story of the affair between Wright and Chicago society matron Mamah Borthwick Cheney.
"Loving Frank unfolds in a unique historical milieu, yet it speaks to a fundamental aspect of human nature, that you can't help who you fall in love with," said Lionsgate production president Alli Shearmur.
Escape Artists partners Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch will produce with Stuart Parr and Allison Sarofilm.
Frank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American (of Welsh descent) architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1,000 projects, which resulted in more than 500 completed works.
Many of his buildings are notable for the geometrical clarity they exhibit, particularly his home in Oak Park, Illinois; Fallingwater, a home built partly over a waterfall in Bear Run, Pennsylvania; and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, one of the 20th century's most important architectural landmarks.
