“So having him lead a film will just be fabulous.”
Opening up about his new project, the Room film-maker revealed he’s been working with the people behind The Danish Girl.
“He’s brilliant. The Little Stranger is an amazing novel by Sarah Waters,” he said.
“I’ve been working with the very wonderful Lucinda Coxon who wrote The Danish Girl and she’s done brilliant work and we’re hoping to shoot next year.

“And it will be Domhnall Gleeson playing a doctor in the late 1940s who comes from a very working-class background, sort of a grammar school boy, and then goes back to treat a family of gentry that he remembers from when he was younger,” he told Empire.
“And it’s a brilliant meditation on class, again there’s quite a strong theme about how strongly children feel things and it’s a poltergeist story on top of all that.
“So it’s my first flirtation with, you know, those genre elements,” he added.
