[...] No word yet on where Plan B is with the production, but another literary property—author Matt Haig‘s novel “The Last Family In England”—is set to go. A tragi-comic tale featuring a talking dog’s perspective on his human family’s neuroses and affairs, director/actor Taika Waititi will helm the picture, having previously directed “Eagle vs. Shark” and the underseen “Boy.” No release date set yet either, but it’s safe to say Plan B’s upcoming slate is worth closely following for the near future.

Producing seems to enrich Pitt more than acting at this point, he admits, though he gives no indication he might step away from his career as a performer: "As I get older, I am enjoying more the producorial side of things -- not being so forefront in the camera -- the creativity of putting the pieces together."

The company now is moving forward with projects including an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' Marilyn Monroe novel Blonde, with Andrew Dominik (Jesse James) to direct; The Last Family of England, with Taika Waititi directing the story centered on a talking dog; and Black Hole, a project that teams Plan B with David Fincher and is adapted from the Charles Burns graphic novel about a virus that infects a group of kids living in the northwest, manifesting itself in strange, supernatural ways (one kid, for instance, develops a second mouth that always speaks the truth).

I haven't read the book yet, but I've read Matt Haig's 'Humans' and it was very good - clever, touching and entertaining. I can see Taika directing one of his books.
