Movie News: Joe Wright to direct psychological thriller ‘The Woman In The Window’

Director Joe Wright‘s Darkest Hour film had been a box-office success and an award season winner recently, especially for his leading actor Gary Oldman, who won every single nomination he has received including the big three awards he won earlier this year such as the Golden Globes, BAFTA, and most recently an Oscar win for Best Actor for Oldman. While director Joe Wright was snubbed on best director for all these awards shows (nothing new here, if he didn’t get a nod for his feature film, Pride & Prejudice film and other films after that...I didn’t expect him to get one for DH), it’s still nice that his film got 6 Oscar nominations and two wins including for Oldman, which was very well-deserved as well as for Hair & Makeup. Anyway, JW’s next film, which he will be directing according to THR, will be a psychological thriller titled The Woman in the Window.
