Table Read

David Cronenberg is attached to direct a film adaptation of Jonathan Lethem's 1997 novel "As She Climbed Across the Table"says Pajiba.

The sci-fi satire follows a sociologist named Philip Engstrand who is romantically obsessed with particle physicist Alice Coombs. Alice meanwhile is obsessed with her work, or rather 'The Lack' - an artificially-created miniature black hole inside her laboratory that appears to have its own personality and intelligence.

Philip becomes jealous of Alice and the Lack's relationship and his curiosity leads him to explore the pocket universes inside The Lack.

"Schindler's List" screen writer Steven Zaillian will produce the film

Cronenberg's schedule is pretty packed and so where he fits Table in is anyone's guess The helmer is currently at work on "A Dangerous Method" and recently talked about doing a Eastern Promises Sequel . He was also linked to film adaptations of "Cosmopolis" and The Matarese Circle until both projects got put on hold last year
