Ava DuVernay to Direct ‘The Battle of Versailles’ for HBO
Ava DuVernay took a quick break from directing feature films after the release of her Oscar-nominated Selma, and while she’s been hard at work on various other projects (like her forthcoming series Queen Sugar), this past month has yielded great news for fans of the director eager to see her return to film. In addition to directing Disney’s upcoming adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time, DuVernay has signed on to helm a new film for HBO — one that will take her into the dramatic world of high fashion.
