According to the Wrap, Nina Jacobson, CEO of Color Force and producer on all four Hunger Games films, said: "We are looking for the right film-maker, and then we'll choose the right home based on that film-maker ...

The Goldfinch, Tartt's third novel and her first since 2002's The Little Friend, is about a 13-year-old boy who survives an art-gallery bombing that kills his mother, and ends up in possession of the Dutch Old Master painting (by Carel Fabritius) of the title. Since its publication in October 2013 it has attracted widespread acclaim for its "Dickensian" scope, and named by the New York Times as among the 10 best books of 2013.The Goldfinch, Tartt's third novel and her first since 2002's The Little Friend, is about a 13-year-old boy who survives an art-gallery bombing that kills his mother, and ends up in possession of the Dutch Old Master painting (by Carel Fabritius) of the title.

No details have emerged of any film-makers or actors who may be under consideration - and nor whether any resulting project would be aimed at the big or small screen. Said Jacobson: "We've been thinking we are more likely to make a limited series for TV. There's so much scope to the book. At the same time, a film-maker could come in with a perspective that changes our mind."No details have emerged of any film-makers or actors who may be under consideration - and nor whether any resulting project would be aimed at the big or small screen.
