The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

[Sawyer]

Wes Ball To Direct ‘The First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August’ For Amblin Partners – Deadline

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August follows a man who is repeatedly born into the same life, remembers all his past experiences, and seeks to save the world by outmaneuvering a similarly gifted rival who’s willing to make any sacrifice to attain a godlike knowledge. Melissa Iqbal (Humans, The Nevers) has adapted the novel for the big screen.

Now that sounds clever.

Yup, sounds interesting.

Like Wes Ball a lot.
Wouldn't mind if he gets Dylan O Brien for the lead

 

[-JKR-]

He's a promising director, but has yet to work with a script/material that allows him to really stretch his filmmaking muscle.

 

[VictusMortuus]

One of my favorite books, not the filmmaker I’d have chosen to direct but I’ll stay optimistic and hope it’s done justice.

I loved the first Maze Runner but the following two were slogs to get through. If he can capture that energy with the first, could be fun.
