Stephen Daldry to helm 'Extremely Loud'

Stephen Daldry is reportedly attached to direct upcoming feature Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

The film is based on a 9/11-themed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Producer Scott Rudin is behind the Paramount-Warner Bros co-production.

Foer's book tells the story of Oscar Schell, a gifted 9-year-old searching for a lock that matches a key left by his father, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks in New York.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button scribe Eric Roth has adapted the novel for the screen.

Daldry has also been approached about helming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, it has been reported.
