After helming the Oscar-nominated “Captain Fantastic,” Matt Ross will direct an adaptation of Tom Sweterlitsch’s debut novel “Tomorrow and Tomorrow” for TriStar.
Published in 2014, the novel is set in a near future world where humanity’s relationship with evolving virtual environments becomes isolating.
“‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow’ is prescient,” Ross said. “It posits a world not so dissimilar from today, a direction we are all clearly headed where technology has altered the ways in which we interact with each other and the world around us.”
He continued, “I hope to examine, following the book’s lead, the degree to which our lives are enhanced and deeply compromised by the technology that is already an inseparable part of our daily existence. Lynette and I couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with Hannah to translate this book into the complex and relevant film we all believe it can be.”
Minghella* added, “As a futuristic crime thriller, the book uses the near future to reflect on timely questions about our world today and how virtual reality impacts actual reality. It’s Matt’s interest in exploring the complex intersection of technology with morality and love that makes his vision for ‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow’ especially compelling.”

Matt Ross is the gay dude in American Psycho almost killed by Bateman in the latrine for nagging him. Do you think he would reach out to Bale to consider a project of his? Have any of you guys read or know about the book? I'm sure this won't have the kind of roles we have come to expect from Bale but how about a simple, naturalistic, charisma filled lead this time around? He showed he can be a charismatic center of viewers' attentions in Out of the Furnace.
