Seven years ago, Jill Faulkner Summers [William's daughter] discovered a manuscript lost somewhere deep within a pile of early drafts, letters, and sketches that her father left behind when he died in 1962. What she had found was Faulkner's last remaining, unproduced, feature length screenplay. She passed the script onto Lee Caplin, representative of the William Faulkner Literary Estate and producer of films such as "Ali", who has plans to reanimate the vampire saga into the next Hollywood blockbuster.

Set in an undisclosed European location, Caplin has decided to move the setting into the Deep South [where Faulkner spent most of his life, and where a good sum of his stories take place], and inject it with some wholesome computer generated special effects that no movie can be without.

In addition, Caplin is also producing an adaptation of "The Sound and the Fury" while also finding a writer who can create a "David Lynch-style movie" from Faulkner's 1935 short story "The Golden Land." Although many adaptations have been written, Caplin hasn't found a writer yet who could come up with a story that was like "American Beauty on steroids." Oprah Winfrey also has future plans to create an adaptation of "Light in August."
