Catherine Hardwicke to Direct Feature Adaptation of “Dissonance”

Catherine Hardwicke

Catherine Hardwick has signed on to helm another genre adaptation. The “Twilight” and “Red Riding Hood” director will bring “Dissonance” to the screen for Straight Up Films and Envision Media Arts, Deadline reports. Based on Erica O’Rourke’s 2014 book of the same name, the fantasy film will be penned by Andrea Seigel (“Laggies”).

“Dissonance” centers on Del, a young woman who can walk between alternate realities and “is entrusted with keeping the dimensions in harmony. When she secretly starts to investigate other dissonant worlds, Del uncovers a secret that threatens the survival of the entire multiverse,” the source summarizes.

Marisa Polvino and Kate Cohen of Straight Up (“Transcendence”) are among the film’s producers.

Hardwick’s latest pic, Gina Rodriguez-starrer “Miss Bala,” is slated for release in January 2019. The thriller follows a beauty contest winner who is forced into working for a crime boss.

“Myself and other [female] directors used to think we didn’t have to talk about women’s issues: that it would be enough to just make films and be an example. That doesn’t work. It hasn’t worked,” Hardwicke said in 2015. “Now people are making noise, and pretty soon they won’t be able to ignore it.” She emphasized, “Whatever it takes, we need to get women and minorities in that space.”
