"Elle" writer David Birke will adapt the philosophical novel for Lionsgate, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The book follows a beautiful but self-absorbed man who sells his soul in order to retain his beauty, letting his portrait age in his stead.

However, in the film, Dorian Gray will be a woman.

Vincent previously directed a segment in the all-female horror anthology "XX".
