The book hasn’t yet been published but Netflix is already working on an adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s Leave the World Behind, we’ve learned via THR this afternoon.
Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts have been set to star in the film adaptation, with “Mr. Robot” creator Sam Esmail set to write and direct for Netflix.
The novel, which is releasing this coming fall, “follows a husband and wife as they head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation with their teenage son and daughter. When the owners of the rental return in a panic one night after they say a sudden blackout has swept through the city, the couple aren’t sure what to believe. With the TV and internet down and no cell service, the two families are forced into a tense living situation.”
THR notes, “Themes dealing with race, class, and parenthood are tackled.”
