Amy Adams joins Netflixs film Hillbilly Elegy 1
“The Shape of Water” screenwriter Vanessa Taylor adapted the script.

Based on Vance’s bestselling memoir, the movie is a modern exploration of the American dream and follows three generations of an Appalachian family as told by its youngest member, a Yale law student forced to return to his hometown, reports variety.com.

Netflix boarded the project in January after winning a heated bidding war to finance the $45 million feature.

Adams was seen in the limited series “Sharp Objects”, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination. She followed that up with her Oscar-nominated performance as Lynne Cheney in the Dick Cheney biopic “Vice.”

She will next be seen in the adaptation of the “Woman in the Window”, which co-stars Julianne Moore and is directed by Joe Wright.
