Deadline:
FOX has bought The Beach, a drama based on the 1996 novel by Alex Garland and the 2000 movie directed by Danny Boyle and starring Leonardo Di Caprio. The project is being written by Andrew Miller, who penned the original script for the CW’s The Secret Circle and co-ran the series with Kevin Williamson. “It’s about a group of young people feeling disconnected and disenchanted from society who try to start over in paradise but discover that while creating the perfect world is hard, protecting it is even harder”, Miller said.
