The New York Times reports that director Jonathan Demme will be adapting the book Zeitoun as an animated feature film. The best-selling novel by Dave Eggers follows Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a Syrian-American man who stayed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and gave aid to anyone he could as he paddled through the flooded streets in a canoe, only to disappear in 2005. Demme is reportedly "'deep, deep, deep into researching' how he would produce the animation for his film, but that he favored a hand-drawn style."
