Fennell, who won an Academy Award for best original screenplay for her directorial debut "Promising Young Woman", will write and direct the new project.
According to Deadline, the details about the film are scarce but sources said that it is titled "Saltburn" and centers around a grand, aristocratic English family.
The movie will start production later this year.
