Indignation is based on Philip Roth’s novel about the son of a kosher butcher who clashes with the dean and administration of a 1950s Ohio college.

Schamus (pictured) adapted the screenplay to the Likely Story and Symbolic Exchange Productions enterprise that is being put together in association with RT Features and X-filme.

Previously announced Logan Lerman and Sarah Gadon are among the cast.
