The Help director in talks for Peace Like A River

The Help director Tate Taylor is currently in talks to adapt the Leif Enger novel, Peace Like A River, for the big screen.

After the financial success of The Help (which did well in its first week at the US box office), Dreamworks are keen to work with Taylor again, this time teaming up with Warner Bros and Brad Pitt’s Plan B production company.

David Brown and Kit Golden will produce, alongside Pitt.

Peace Like A River, set in 1962, is a tale narrated by Reuben, an asthmatic 11-year-old boy who lives with his oddball family in smalltown Minnesota.
