Acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese has announced his plans to adapt Marilynne Robinson’s novel “Home” into a feature film. The novel, published in 2008, is the second in Robinson’s Gilead series, which explores the lives of the Ames and Boughton families in the fictional town of Gilead, Iowa12

Scorsese, who has previously adapted novels such as “The Last Temptation of Christ”, “The Age of Innocence”, and “Shutter Island” for the screen, said he was drawn to Robinson’s work by its rich and complex characters, its themes of faith and forgiveness, and its depiction of mid-20th century America34
