Michelle MacLaren is set to direct the adaptation of The Nightingale, a WWII-era novel by Kristin Hannah.

Variety reports that TV director Michelle MacLaren is set to make her big-screen directorial debut with The Nightingale, a story about two sisters who fight to survive during the Second World War.

MacLaren is best known for her work on Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, and will also be directing an episode of HBO’s Westworld later this year.

Her name might be most familiar to readers due to her previous involvement with Wonder Woman. For a long time, Michelle MacLaren was set to direct DC’s first female-led superhero movie, but ‘creative differences’ forced her to part ways with the studio.

Allegedly, MacLaren’s vision for the movie was far more epic and Braveheart-esque than the character-driven story DC wanted. MacLaren departed the project, and Patty Jenkins took the reins.

Let’s hope MacLaren finds The Nightingale a better fit. The Kristin Hannah novel is similar to Wonder Woman in some ways: The stories are both set during a World War, and are both driven by powerful female characters.

The Nightingale follows two sisters who are left to fend for themselves when the Nazis invade.

The older sister, Vianne, is left alone with her daughter when her husband goes off to war. When the Germans requisition her home, she is forced to make one tough choice after another.

The younger, Isabelle, is a “rebellious 18-year-old girl” who is searching for a purpose, joining the resistance after her lover betrays her.

The movie is being produced by TriStar Pictures. Executive Hannah Minghella says in a statement, “Michelle has directed some of the most groundbreaking and cinematic television of recent years. I’m looking forward to her bringing that same vision to The Nightingale. Her passion for these characters, their complex relationships and the tension of their journeys will no doubt translate into a cinematic experience that will delight the fans of the book and beyond.”
