Jack Huston will direct an upcoming feature film about Joseph Merrick, known in history as The Elephant Man.

Aiming to start production later this year, the film will focus on Merrick’s final months, exploring his transformative journey and the unexpected, life-altering relationships he forms along the way. As Merrick discovers moments of true connection and humanity, the film will shine a light on the profound, often overlooked aspects of his experience, challenging what we think we know about his life and legacy.
