Xavier Dolan Takes On Tom à la ferme

Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan ("I Killed My Mother," "Heartbeats") has plans to adapt the Michel Marc Bouchard play "Tom à la ferme" as his next pic says Twitchfilm.

The story follows Tom, a man grieving over the death of his lover. When he meets the deceased's family he learns the mother was not aware of her son being gay let alone his relationship with Tom. Meanwhile the brother forces Tom to conceal the truth.

Dolan and Bouchard have already started working on the adapted script.

Dolan's latest project, "Laurence Anyways", is scheduled to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next week.
