The excitement surrounding The Goldfinch seems to have no end in sight. When it’s not it being lauded with the Pulitzer prize, it’s crowds flocking to see the original artwork by which Donna Tartt’s novel was inspired, or articles praising the book as one of the best of the year. Now the inevitable movie version is on its way – it doesn’t even have a director, a screenwriter or a cast yet, but at this rate it’s becoming one of the most hyped movies-to-be of the year.

After the news that it was most certainly going to be made into a film (or TV miniseries), now we have confirmation that the deal has been signed by Warner Bros, which also bought the rights for Tartt’s 1992 novel The Secret History (but haven’t yet filmed it). It will be produced by Brad Simpson, Bafta-Winning Hunger Games franchise producer Nina Jacobson and Brett Ratner, director of the current summer blockbuster Hercules.

A typical summer non-story, you could say. But what better time to ask you who should make this movie? What director would be ideal? And who would you have playing Theo Decker? Surely Adam Driver is perfect for mischievous Boris, as The Millions suggested recently? Who do you picture portraying the idealised, sophisticated mother figure Audrey Decker, or Xandra?
