Lynne Ramsay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lynne Ramsay is the Scottish director of two critically acclaimed films, Ratcatcher and Morvern Callar.

Born in Glasgow on 5 December 1969, she graduated from the UK's National Film and Television School in 1995.

Ramsay has won the British Academy Award as well as four prizes at the Cannes Film Festival. She was slated to direct the adaptation of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, but either backed out or was forced out of that project in early 2004.

Her next film is rumored to be an adaptation of We Need to Talk About Kevin, Lionel Shriver's Orange Prize-winning novel set in the aftermath of a high school massacre. Apparently, BBC Films is producing the project.
