Lynne Ramsay, who became available after her involvement in the film adaptation of The Lovely Bones came to an end, signed on to direct, and was working on a script with In the Bedroom writer Robert Festinger by 2006. Shriver was offered a consultative role in the production process but declined, stating she had "had it up to [her] eyeballs with that book", though she did express concern for how the film would capture Eva's role as the unreliable narrator.[5] Production had not begun by 2007, though BBC Films renewed the adaptation rights early in the year.[3] In an interview with The Herald in September 2007, Shriver stated that she had not been in contact with Ramsay about the film for over two years. Ramsay's spokesman told the newspaper that a new script draft was being prepared and, at the time the interview was published, had not been submitted to the producers.[3] Michael Clayton producer Jennifer Fox joined the production team in 2008; the film was expected to begin shooting that year.[6] The script appeared on the 2008 Brit List, a film-industry-compiled list of the best unproduced screenplays in British film.[7] Ramsay's partner Rory Stewart Kinnear also contributed to the final shooting script
