UK directors agree to US projects

Top UK directors Stephen Daldry and Michael Winterbottom have agreed to work with Scott Rudin, one of Paramount Pictures' chief producers as well as a force in US theatre.
Daldry, who directed this season's highly acclaimed awards contender 'The Hours' for Rudin, has taken over from Sydney Pollack at the helm of Rudin's long-cherished film of Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel 'The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay', while Winterbottom has now attached himself to direct Rudin's production of 'Freedomland', a film of Richard Price's 1998 novel in which Julianne Moore, herself a star of The Hours, is to star.
Rudin, renowned for his ability to get films made from novels, is also teamed with Daldry on a version of the bestseller 'The Corrections' by Jonathan Franzen, which is being scripted by UK playwright David Hare.
