Noam Murro, the recipient of this year's DGA Award for outstanding directorial achievement in commercials, has signed on to direct Warner Bros. Pictures' new version of Strangers on a Train, says The Hollywood Reporter.

David Seltzer is writing the screenplay for the adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith novel, which was first made into a film in 1951 by Alfred Hitchcock. The story inspired 1969's "Once You Kiss a Stranger" and Danny DeVito's "Throw Momma From the Train" in 1987. Robert Walker and Farley Granger starred in the original Hitchcock movie, with Granger playing a tennis pro who jokes about killing the father of a stranger he meets in return for the other man killing Granger's wife.
