Deadline has learnt that Dreamworks is in talks with the estate of author John Steinback to bring us a new version of The Grapes Of Wrath. The 1940 classic directed by John Ford won two oscars and is a favourite with film buffs. One such fan is Steven Spielberg who is said to be eager to acquire the rights. Dreamworks said Spielberg would definitely be on board to produce.
The Grapes Of Wrath is set during the great depression and centres around a poor family called the Joads. They are forced to leave their farm due to extreme dust bowl conditions. The family led by Tim Joad (Henry Fonda) head towards the coast of California with promise of glorious things. The journey and ultimate result is not what the family expected.
