Christopher Hampton will adapt Joseph O'Neill's acclaimed novel, which centres on an isolated Dutchman in New York who finds himself drawn to cricket and the city's immigrant culture, says Variety.
Mendes, whose new film Away We Go opens this Friday, may also direct the movie through his Neal Street firm and Winfrey's Harpo's production label.
"This project's emotional power has resonated with us all," remarked Focus Features CEO James Schamus.
