Fresh from her recent Oscar nomination for Mudbound, Rees co-wrote the script with Marco Villalobos. She is also producing along with Cassian Elwes. Jamin O’Brien, Wayne Godfrey and Robert Jones.

“Dee Rees is an incredibly talented filmmaker who continues to make provocative and entertaining films,” said Netflix film group head Scott Stuber. “We are thrilled to continue our relationship with Dee and proud to have her part of the Netflix family.”

Not only is it great that these three women are coming together to produce something brilliant for the screen, but they’re showcasing the writing of a well-celebrated author whose body of work still resonates with women today, and will do so for generations to come.

A release date for the film has not yet been mentioned, but we’re sure this will top many a must-see list.
