EXCLUSIVE: Amblin Entertainment has set Floria Sigismondi to direct_ The Turning,_ a Chad & Carey Hayes script that is inspired by the 1898 Henry James novella _The Turn Of The Screw_.


Scott Bernstein and Roy Lee are producing a contemporized version of the classic ghost story, eyeing an early 2018 production start. Sigismondi is a seminal director of music videos — David


Bowie, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, The White Stripes, Katy Perry and Marilyn Manson to name a few — who broke into feature directing with_ The Runaways_ and more recently helmed two episodes


of _The Handmaid’s Tale_ as well as the season finale of _American Gods_. Among her best known music work are videos from the late Bowie’s _The Next Day_ album that featured Tilda Swinton,


Marion Cotillard and Gary Oldman, as well as Rihanna’s _Sledgehammer_ which she recorded for _Star Trek Beyond_. Sigismondi is repped by WME, Echo Lake Entertainment and Gang, Tyre, Ramer
