Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon, The Unknown Country) will star in The Memory Police, based on the science fiction novel by Yoko Ogawa, according to the Hollywood Reporter. With a script by Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), the film will be directed by Reed Morano, who helmed episodes of The Handmaid's Tale as well as indie film I Think We're Alone Now.
Morano and Margot Hand of Picture Films will produce. Martin Scorsese is executive producing alongside Ogawa, whose novel was originally released in 1994, with an English translation published in 2019. The novel was a finalist for the National Book Award, International Booker Price, and World Fantasy Award.
