The Girls creator has been tapped to write the story of a Syrian refugee who managed to survive while stranded at sea.

The film will be adapted from the non-fiction work by the chief spokeswoman for the United Nations High Commissioner and Flatiron Books, Melissa Fleming, entitled A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea: One Refugee’s Incredible Story of Love, Loss, and Survival.

Lena will pen the screenplay about Doaa Al Zamel — a mother of two fleeing Egypt for Sweden by boat. After being shipwrecked along the way, Al Zamel managed to survive for days in open water whilst holding two small children in each arm with only the support of an inflatable water ring.

The incredible story is expected to be produced by film giants, Steven Spielberg, and J.J. Abrams.

Variety confirms that Lena Dunham, and Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke’s daughter, Maya Hawke have joined the cast of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. 

It has been a great year for Hawke who has been tapped to appear in season three of Netflix’s Stranger Things and the TV miniseries Little Women.

According to Variety Dunham will be playing a character named Gypsy. This will be Dunham’s first major feature film role. 

The duo will be joining Hollywood A-listers Leonardo DiCaprio who will play Rick Dalton, former star of a western TV series and Brad Pitt who will play his longtime stunt double, Cliff Booth. Back in April Tarantino said that DiCaprio and Pitt will be “the most exciting dynamic star duo since Paul Newman and Robert Redford.”

Margot Robbie, Luke Perry, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning, Al Pacino, Emile Hirsch, Clifton Collins Jr., Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Keith Jefferson, and Nicholas Hammond will round out the cast.
