In 2012, Nichols won the Best Direction of a Play Tony Award for Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman". In April 2013, it was announced that he would direct Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz in a Broadway revival of Harold Pinter's "Betrayal". The play began its limited run on October 1 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, opening on November 3 through January 5, 2014. Nichols was also in talks to direct a film adaptation of Jonathan Tropper's novel "One Last Thing Before I Go". The film was to be produced by J.J. Abrams, who previously wrote the Nichols-directed film "Regarding Henry" (1991).
