Minghella Likes the 'Ladies'
Cold Mountain director has his next film lined up
Production Weekly is reporting that director Anthony Minghella is set to helm The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency next based on the bestselling series by Alexander McCall Smith. Minghella penned the script along with Richard Curtis.
The story takes place in Gaborone, Botswana and consists of one woman the engaging Precious Ramotswe. A cross between Kinsey Millhone and Miss Marple, this unlikely heroine specializes in missing husbands, wayward daughters, con men and impostors. When she sets out on the trail of a missing child she is tumbled headlong into some strange situations and not a little danger. Deftly interweaving tragedy and humor to create a memorable tale of human desires and foibles, the story is also an evocative portrait of a distant world.
The project is eyeing a May production start in Botswana, Africa.
