Frank Lloyd Wright biopic being designed

Lionsgate has acquired the rights to Nancy Horan’s historical novel Loving Frank. The film will focus on the pre-WWI years of Frank’s life and his controversial affair with Mamah Bothwick Cheney. Anyone who has an interest in Wright and his work will probably realize he would make an interesting character in a film, seeing as he wasn’t always a very nice or “moral” guy. Nonetheless, the architectural genius with have his moment on the big screen, even if it does highlight his less than flattering side(s). The screenplay is set to be written by John Burnham Schwartz (Reservation Road).
