David Fincher is planning to make a film about US photographer Dorothea Lange.
The Golden Globe-winning Social Network director is said to be working on the biopic, which he will executive produce and which will "chronicle her triumph over physical disability to capture iconic images of unemployed workers and dispossessed farmers during the Great Depression," reports Variety.
Angela Workman, who penned Snow Flower And The Secret Fan, is currently writing the script, while Leslie Dektor and David B F Ginsberg are producing the independent film.
David, who has also been hard at work on the Hollywood version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, has been attached to various projects after that, including the big-screen adaptation of Arthur C Clarke's sci-fi novel, Rendezvous With Rama, and the film of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
