HBO Lands TV Adaptation of Gillian Flynn's SHARP OBJECTS, Starring Amy Adams

HBO has landed the highly-anticipated tv adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel SHARP OBJECTS, starring Amy Adams, according to Deadline. The project has received a straight-to-series order, with eight episodes planned for the first season.

WILD's Jean-Marc Vallee is set to direct, with Marti Noxon set as showrunner and co-writer, alongside Flynn.

The Oscar-nominated actress will portray reporter Camille Preaker, who is just out of a short stay in a PSYCH hospital and is assigned to investigate the murder of two preteen girls.

Adams made her feature film debut in Drop Dead Gorgeous and soon after appeared as Brenda Strong in Steven Spielberg's Frank Abagnale biopic Catch Me If You Can. Her BREAKTHROUGH role came in the 2005 independent film Junebug, for which she received critical acclaim and her first of five Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress. In 2007, Adams starred in the Disney animated classic musical film Enchanted, a critical and commercial success, and received a Golden Globe Award nomination for her lead performance. She received her second Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations and first BAFTA Award nomination for her supporting role in the 2008 film Doubt.

Adams received two more Golden Globe, BAFTA and Academy Award nominations for her supporting roles in the 2010 sports drama The Fighter and the 2012 psychological drama The Master. She achieved further success in 2013 for portraying Lois Lane in the Superman movie Man of Steel, a supporting role in the Spike Jonze-directed comedy-drama Her, and a con artist in David O. Russell's crime film American Hustle; the last of these won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy along with a fourth BAFTA nomination, and a fifth Oscar nomination, her first in the Best Actress category.
