Jonathan Demme, Oscar winning director of The Silence of the Lambs, is planning to bring the book Zeitoun to the big screen as an animated film, according to the NY Times. The book by Dave Eggers, co-author of the Where the Wild Things Are screenplay, tells the story of a “man who remained in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to protect his home and business, and paddled its flooded streets in a canoe, offering his help to other flood victims.”
