Lyne To Finally Traverse The Back Roads

Director Adrian Lyne ("Fatal Attraction," "Unfaithful") and his long-gestating film adaptation of author Tawni O'Dell's book "Back Roads" is moving ahead says The Hollywood Reporter.

Set in Pennsylvania’s mining country, the story follows a 20-year-old man who has to care for his three sisters after his mother is convicted of killing his abusive father. He starts an affair with a married mother of two and becomes the prime suspect in a murder.

Andrew Garfield had been attached to star but that fell apart due to scheduling issues.

Lyne's been attached to numerous projects over the years--just last month he was linked to adapt John Grisham's novel--the thriller "The Associate".
