The film looks set to be an eccentric retelling of the acclaimed novel, and Baumbach found himself drawn to the project after seeing stark correlations to the real world when he revisited the book.

“I started rereading it, on a lark really, at the end of 2019, beginning of 2020,” he explained to Entertainment Weekly. “I was reminded how much I loved it, but also loving it in a whole new way now, and was struck by how the real-but-not-real tenor that DeLillo strikes represented the world as it was feeling to me. When the pandemic hit New York, and Greta and I were here, I was finishing the book, and it really felt like this document was telling me things about what was happening now. It just felt kind of uncanny.”

White Noise, which is also being blessed with music from Danny Elfman, reunites Baumbach with Adam Driver after their collaboration on 2019’s Marriage Story, and is another addition to a line of projects from Baumbach and his partner, Greta Gerwig.

The cast also includes the likes of Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy, Sam Nivola, May Nivola and Jodie Turner-Smith.
