The film is an adaptation of the Vladimir Nabokov erotic thriller.

Gabriele Muccino, who previously directed The Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds, is in talks to direct Laughter in the Dark, an adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's erotic thriller.

Bradley McManus and Justin Parker wrote the script, which centers on a wealthy art dealer and family man who falls in love with an aspiring actress who becomes his muse. When he leaves his wife and family for her, his life spins out of control.
