Harry Potter Director David Yates to Direct YOUR VOICE IN MY HEAD

Harry Potter director David Yates is looking to direct something a little different than what we are used to seeing from him. Over the last few years has has graced us with some incredible Harry Potter movies, but now he's going to bring us something on a much smaller scale. He is set to direct an adaptation of Emma Forrest's memoir Your Voice in My Head. Forrest is also writing the screenplay for the story which "which explores the personal crisis she faced when an all-consuming romance fell apart and her psychiatrist died." Sounds like a pretty depressing movie. But this is what Yates had to say,

It's a small film, hard-hitting and with elements of magic realism. Compared to 'Potter' it would cost tuppency ha'penny, and for that reason it would be incredibly liberating to make.

Personally, I'm more interested in the Dr. Who movie that he said he was developing, but I imagine there is an audience out there for this. With Yates behind the camera it's sure to be a solid film. 

Here's a description from the book:

Emma Forrest, a British journalist, was just twenty-two and living the fast life in New York City when she realized that her quirks had gone beyond eccentricity. In a cycle of loneliness, damaging relationships, and destructive behavior, she found herself in the chair of a slim, balding, and effortlessly optimistic psychiatrist—a man whose wisdom and humanity would wrench her from the dangerous tide after she tried to end her life. She was on the brink of drowning, but she was still working, still exploring, still writing, and she had also fallen deeply in love. One day, when Emma called to make an appointment with her psychiatrist, she found no one there. He had died, shockingly, at the age of fifty-three, leaving behind a young family. Reeling from the premature death of a man who had become her anchor after she turned up on his doorstep, she was adrift. And when her all-consuming romantic relationship also fell apart, Emma was forced to cling to the page for survival and regain her footing on her own terms.
