Shooting on the project has already begun and it is being directed by Marc Meyers – whose filmmography includes includes ‘My Friend Dahmer’ – from a script by Oren Moverman.
Tomei is to play a woman named Carrie, with Schreiber portraying protagonist Drew and Wolff as Ian.
It is not the first time that Amidon’s tome has been made into a film as Paolo Virzi created the Italian movie ‘Il Capitale Umano’.
‘Human Capital’ is scheduled for release next year.
