Nice! thanx for the info Shelle - excited about the Grisham thing

KateB

so does the Hollywood reporter article below mean it's a go, or just their take on the earlier rumors? It sounds awesome, and I hope it doesn't take too long, but sounds like it's not written? Could it be his next project?
Also fun t hear Zac sing on Robot chicken Thanks for posting that.

It's confirmed Kate, but it's not his next project because the script isn't written

KateB

this article gives more details of the story and Zac will be Kyle McAvoy.

you can get a hardcover book on Amazon for under $4.00 and read reviews, but they are spoilers. One reviewer said there is no ending so he didn't like it, the other loved it?
on this site skip past the plot info because it tells the entire story, but the second half, the reviews are the same as other reviews I've read. The end fizzels and same old plot lines. Maybe that is why they need some rewrites, everyone says the same things. Warning, skip past the plot section if you don't want the entire story, the reviews are not spoilers.

As good as confirmed, "Zac" Tweeted it!

KateB

They have a director and writer now, so maybe it won't be so long because the basic script was rewritten twice since 2009 for other stars.
The movie has secured Oscar-nominated director Adrian Lyne, whose previous films include Fatal Attraction (1987), Indecent Proposal (1993) and Lolita (1997). William Monahan will write the screenplay, which will be Grisham's seventh novel to get adapted for the big screen.

so many articles out, but I love how they used a TAM really nice pic, with clothes, along with a book cover. Very cool.

I thought I read somewhere that Adrian Lyne and William Monahan were previously attached to project but had now left. It's all so confusing

juju81

They apparently left the project. There is no director right now

KateB

I don't know, maybe the article got it wrong? There is a really cool thing in the first chapter of the book, The Associate, not really a spoiler, kinda a cool coincidence, but I'll put it in a spoiler for those who don't want any info.

Since I know Kate gets into reading books and wanting to discuss, do we think we're at getting a thread up point?? Could be a long time with the thread in development, and obviously something could happen along the way and it may not actually happen.

KateB

I can hold off on posting about this until it's more definite. It's really early to make a thread. I'll just not post about the story. But it's looking really good!

Well an in the works project is better than no project at all, so I'm pleased

StormySky

We can hold off on opening a new thread, as much I love opening new character/movie threads it's a bit early, especially since we don't even know if there is a script

begin again

I concur

KateB

I concur, too. I was thinking with Conan hosting the MTV after his interview with Seth, and Zac presenting and maybe winning shirtless, I bet he makes some comment related to what Seth said. I hope Zac is getting enough support to win, it's be awkward if he didn't after all Seth's craziness, and good Neighbors promo. You can still vote up till the event at
