The Corrections is an upcoming film adaptation of the Jonathan Franzen novel of the same name. It has been in pre-production since 2002, with Robert Zemeckis currently set to direct the film. Producer Scott Rudin has acquired the rights to the film.

History

The Corrections has been in various stages of pre-production since 2002, at which point the novel was going to be adapted by screenwriter David Hare and director Stephen Daldry. With the film in active pre-production, Jonathan Franzen gave Entertainment Weekly a wish cast-list for the film, saying, "If they told me Gene Hackman was going to do Alfred, I would be delighted. If they told me they had cast Cate Blanchett as Denise, I would be jumping up and down, even though officially I really don't care what they do with the movie."

Then, in January 2005, Variety announced that, with Daldry presumably off the project, Robert Zemeckis was developing Hare's script "with an eye toward directing." In August 2005, Variety confirmed that the director would definitely be helming The Corrections. Around this time, it was rumored that the cast would include Judi Dench as the family matriarch Enid, along with Brad Pitt, Tim Robbins, and Naomi Watts. Since then, however, nothing has been announced about the project.

Alejandro González Iñárritu has most recently been in talks with directing the film. George Clooney has also been in talks to direct and possibly star.
