The new movie will be based on the famous real-life diary and Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich's successful stage production, according to Variety.
Frank was killed aged 15 at the Bergen-Bergen concentration camp during World War II. The diary she kept while her family hid in a secret attic in Amsterdam was published after the war ended. Mamet is apparently considering turning the project into a "rite of passage" tale.
Producer Andrew Braunsberg has negotiated for the rights from the Anne Frank Estate and Hackett and Goodrich.
Previous adaptations of the text have included 1959's Oscar-winning Diary Of Anne Frank and ABC's 2001 Emmy winner Anne Frank: The Whole Story.
