One of Hollywood's most respected filmmakers is teaming with celebrated Canadian author Margaret Atwood to develop her "MaddAddam" trilogy into an HBO show, Deadline reported Wednesday.

Darren Aronofsky is executive producing a project that will turn Atwood's "speculative fiction" books "Oryx and Crake," "The Year of the Flood" and "MaddAddam" into a drama series. The "Black Swan" helmer may also direct.

Atwood confirmed the news on her Twitter account.
