Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes has signed on for his first post-Bond offering, with Deadline reporting that he is set to direct an adaptation of Gay Talese’s upcoming non-fiction book The Voyeur’s Motel for DreamWorks.
The book, which is set for publication on July 12th, tells the story of Colorado man Gerald Foos, “a lifelong voyeur who opened a hotel primarily so he could watch guests having sex, through ceiling vents. He fancied himself as an observer of human behavior, but he sometimes did more than observe. Among other things, he was complicit in a murder he caused when he flushed the drugs of a dealer down the toilet and that dealer blamed his girlfriend and strangled her.”
In addition to directing, Mendes will also serve as producer alongside Steven Spielberg.
