The SeaChange and Rake writer will adapt Peter Temple's "masterpiece", The Broken Shore
While adaptations are popular in Hollywood, constantly taking huge box office dollars, they aren't so common in Australia
Jennifer Kent's The Babadook and Russell Crowe's The Water Diviner tied for best film at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) awards in Sydney.
In a distinguished career spanning more than 30 years, writer-producer Andrew Knight has rarely been so busy.
The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts will stage screenings of Strangerland, Glitch, Ruben Guthrie and Last Cab to Darwin in the next two months as it ramps up its events program for members.
Andrew Knight is not a critic of Australia's film schools but if he were invited to lecture on screenwriting he'd take a radically different approach.
If there was an AACTA award for Australia's busiest screenwriter, Andrew Knight would take the prize in a cakewalk.
In between film work last year, Knight wrote new seasons of Rake and Jack Irish simultaneously, a process he calls, unsurprisingly, "a blur".
