Netflix has won in a bidding war the right to finance ?Hillbilly Elegy,? an adaptation of J.D. Vance?s memoir about his Appalachian-raised family that Ron Howard is directing, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.
?The Shape of Water? co-writer Vanessa Taylor adapted the screenplay. The film hopes to shoot later this year, but casting still needs to take place.
A rep for the streamer declined to discuss terms of the deal, which Deadline reported carries a $45 million budget.
