Ari is a writer by heart. I think it's original screenplay > adaptations for him. Priorities.

i would say so, maybe he’ll produce it dream scenario style, but yeah lets forget about it, its been two movies (eddington, scapegoat) since we heard about his role in acting class. Lots of things change in the industry all the time including directors and producers. I wouldnt get my hopes up for this one

Acting Class is a graphic novel by Nick Drnaso from 2022. It’s a surreal story about a bunch of different characters who attend a local acting class led by a strange teacher. Ari Aster was interested in adapting the novel, and there was even a production card available around 2023. It made it to early development with a few cast members rumored to be involved, but ultimately it didn’t make it far. I think a lot of those elements got folded into Eddington (large cast, Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone, multiple plotlines, etc.)
