       [...] No word yet on where Plan B is with the production, but
       another literary property—author Matt Haig‘s novel “The Last
       Family In England”—is set to go. A tragi-comic tale featuring a
       talking dog’s perspective on his human family’s neuroses and
       affairs, director/actor Taika Waititi will helm the picture,
       having previously directed “Eagle vs. Shark” and the underseen
       “Boy.” No release date set yet either, but it’s safe to say Plan
       B’s upcoming slate is worth closely following for the near
       future.[/quote]

       Producing seems to enrich Pitt more than acting at this point,
       he admits, though he gives no indication he might step away from
       his career as a performer: "As I get older, I am enjoying more
       the producorial side of things -- not being so forefront in the
       camera -- the creativity of putting the pieces together."
       The company now is moving forward with projects including an
       adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' Marilyn Monroe novel Blonde,
       with Andrew Dominik (Jesse James) to direct; The Last Family of
       England, with Taika Waititi directing the story centered on a
       talking dog; and Black Hole, a project that teams Plan B with
       David Fincher and is adapted from the Charles Burns graphic
       novel about a virus that infects a group of kids living in the
       northwest, manifesting itself in strange, supernatural ways (one
       kid, for instance, develops a second mouth that always speaks
       the truth).[/quote]
       I haven't read the book yet, but I've read Matt Haig's 'Humans'
       and it was very good - clever, touching and entertaining. I can
       see Taika directing one of his books.
