Joseph Merrick (2027)

Huston is directing a biopic based on the life of Joseph Merrick, more well known as The Elephant Man. Lynch directed a devastating 1980 film about Merrick, but Huston promises that his film will be a very different tackling.
Merrick, a severely deformed man in 19th-century London, was exploited as a sideshow attraction before being taken in by the compassionate Dr. Frederic Treves. Lynch’s film, shot in black and white, explored themes of human dignity, compassion, and societal cruelty.
