Two years removed from leaving Solo after already completing the majority of filming, Ron Howard is working with Netflix on an adaptation of J.D Vance's memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. After it's release in 2016, the book stormed the US media during the Presidential election, as Vance described living as a working class white man in a forgotten corner of the US, highlighting the appeal of someone like Donald Trump.

With Amy Adams, Glenn Close, and Freida Pinto cast, as well as Super 8's Gabriel Basso playing Vance himself, this promises to be a deep and moving look into the life of three generations of Appalachian heritage.
