The South African writer JM Coetzee's biblical trilogy has been adapted for the screen, according to Daily Maverick. The publication reported the news on Monday, describing the project as a daring cinematic saga. Daily Maverick did not name a director, cast or release date in its summary.
Coetzee is a South African novelist whose work has been adapted for film before. His biblical trilogy is the source material for this screen version, Daily Maverick reports. The outlet frames the adaptation as an ambitious undertaking, though it offers no further detail on how the trilogy was translated to film or who was involved in making it.
The trilogy takes its subject matter from biblical narrative, a departure from the contemporary and historical settings of some of Coetzee's better-known fiction. Daily Maverick's report presents the screen version as a notable event in film and literature circles without elaborating on its production.
Details of the adaptation remain limited in the reporting available. Daily Maverick's headline and summary confirm the screen project and its source material but do not address casting, distribution or a release window.
What to watch next: further reporting from Daily Maverick and other outlets on the film's cast, director and release plans.
