Lena Dunham Adapting Refugee Survival Story for Spielberg & Abrams

Based on the true story of an Egyptian mother fleeing to Sweden on a lifeboat with her two children in tow.

Spielberg, Abrams, and.....Lena Dunham?

One of these things is not like the other.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, that struck me as an... odd choice.

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, heh. Dunham, I'm pretty much out. Spielberg or no.

Sounds pretty heavy-handed Oscar-bait-y too.

 

[THORin]

Sounds pretty heavy-handed Oscar-bait-y too.

Yeah, I guess, but I like the sound of it.

 

[scarlet-witch]

I cannot stand Dunham so nope.

 

[Mandon Knight]

That's a strange old mix between creative forces and whilst it's perfect story & narrative sense for both Spielberg & Abrahms to be involved, Dunham (given her previous writing credits, er...not so much).
