Filmmaker Joe Wright is directing "The Woman in the Window", based on A J Finn's best-seller book.
Tracy Letts, the Pulitzer Prize winning writer of "August, Osage County," will pen the script, and Scott Rudin and Eli Bush (Lady Bird) will produce the picture.
Fox 2000 is backing the project, reported Variety.
"The Woman in the Window" revolves around the reclusive Dr Anna Fox, who spends her days holed in in her New York City brownstone, fortifying herself with too much wine, binge watching old movies, and spying on her neighbours.
In the 'Rear Window' vein, Anna eventually witnesses something she should not while keeping tabs on the Russell family, the seemingly picture perfect clan that lives across the way.
Wright has been in demand following the box office and awards season success of "Darkest Hour.
