Iris director Richard Eyre will deliver the film version of Notes from a Scandal (a variation on the subtitle of Zoe Heller's novel What Was She Thinking?), starring Cate Blanchett as a British Mary Kay Letourneau and Judi Dench as her meddling colleague. This is one case where I'd put money down that the film will be better than the book.
