Gaspar Noé is not planning to adapt William S. Burroughs

According to rumors published by the rather serious Jordan Ruimy (World of Reel), Gaspar Noé has unveiled, during a masterclass with Alfonso Cuarón at the London Film Academy, his will to adapt William S. Burroughs' The Soft Machine, and that a first draft was already ready.

However, while the idea seems consistent with the filmmaker's universe, a close collaborator whom we asked to confirm firmly denied: "This project is nonsense..."
