Premise
Under the Banner of Heaven is a true story about two fundamentalist Mormon brothers who murder the wife and infant daughter of their younger brother, claiming to have been acting on orders from God. The brothers were members of a splinter group called the School of Prophets, which adhered to original tenets of the faith that included polygamy and a belief that true believers could speak directly with God. These were rooted as the faith grew to a mainstream appeal, but the brothers remain convinced they were obeying God's command.

Production
In July 2011 Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to the book with Ron Howard directing and Dustin Lance Black writing the screenplay. Howard and his Imagine Entertainment partner Brian Grazer will produce with Shannon Costello, Jason Bateman and Stephanie Davis. Howard and Grazer previously produced J. Edgar, which was written by Black.
