No deals have been set yet for the project. Damien previously directed Emma in the Academy Award-winning La La Land.

The story is “said to be set in the late 1920s, during the movie industry’s transition from silent films to talkies. The rise and fall of fictional and historical characters figure into the proceedings.”

Emma would play Clara Bow, and Brad would play a fictional silent film star who fails to make the transition to the new technology, reportedly based on real-life figure John Gilbert.
