Lake Bell has found a project to follow-up her acclaimed directorial debut , In a World. The actress-turned-budding-helmer is set to direct The Emperor’s Children, the adaptation of the Claire Messud novel being produced by Imagine Entertainment. Noah Baumbach wrote the script and was at one point attached to direct. The book took on the liberal intellectual elite of New York, telling the tale of three entitled but unsuccessful late-twentysomething-year olds who orbit the life of a famous journalist in the months before and after the events of 9/11. Bell made her directorial debut with the film In a World , which she also wrote and starred in.
