To Kill a Mockingbird is being adapted for the Broadway stage for the first time and earlier this week it was announced that it's Steve Jobs writer Aaron Sorkin who'll be taking up the task.
He'll be joined by his regular producing partner Scott Rudin for the project while Bartlett Sher takes up directing duties.
Having such a strong team behind him certainly doesn't take away any of the nerves, however.
Speaking at Sunday night's EE BAFTAs Film Awards at the Royal Opera House in central London, Sorkin took some time on the red carpet to open up about how he's feeling about the venture.

"I also just adapted To Kill A Mockingbird for Broadway," he said. "I'm very excited; it's also very daunting because it's a novel we all love, but I think it's going to be a great theatrical experience."
What to Read Next
The new adaptation isn't the only project Sorkin has at the moment, as the writer also shared more of what we can expect to see from him in the future.
"I've written a new movie and I'm going to be directing it," he added. "We start shooting it at the end of the summer."
Sorkin will be hoping to pick up a gong for Best Adapted Screenplay for Steve Jobs during tonight's ceremony.
