Oscar-winning ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ Co-Producer Daniel Dreifuss Boards Series Adaptation of Late Author Edmund White’s Novel, ‘A Boy’s Own Story’ (EXCLUSIVE)


‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ Brazilian producer Daniel Dreifuss has boarded the series adaptation of Edmund White’s ‘A Boy’s Own Story.’

Scottish-born Brazilian producer Daniel Dreifuss, whose credits include the Oscar and BAFTA-winning “ All Quiet on the Western Front,” as well as the Oscar-nominated “No” by Chile’s Pablo Larrain(“Jackie,” “The Count”), has boarded the limited series adaptation of “A Boy’s Own Story,” the seminal 1982 novel by the late gay author Edmund White. I’m incredibly proud to be part of this extraordinary team and to collaborate with Michael and Brian, who bring such a deep personal connection to the material, and with John Krokidas, whose vision and heart are perfectly suited to realize ‘A Boy’s Own Story’ on screen,” he added. His influence shaped generations of writers, such as Mona Simpson (“Anywhere but Here”), Gary Shteyngart (“Absurdistan,” “The Regime”), Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins (“Appropriate, Purpose”), Yiyun Li (“A Thousand Years of Good Prayers”), and Jeffrey Eugenides (“The Virgin Suicides”).
