Make a room for another adaptation, please! This time, director
Lee Toland Krieger is in charge for helming an adaptation of
Tim Tharp's novel titled
The Spectacular Now.
And,
The Forbidden Kingdom star,
Thomas McDonell has joined the cast of the project that Krieger is developing from a script by Neustadter and Michael Weber (team behind
500 Days of Summer).
Check out the official description of the original novel:
“Sutter Keely is the guy you want at your party. He'll get everyone dancing. He'll get everyone in your parents' pool.
Okay, so he's not exactly a shining academic star. He has no plans for college and will probably end up folding men's shirts for a living. But there are plenty of ladies in town, and with the help of Dean Martin and Seagram's V.O., life's pretty fabuloso, actually.
Until the morning he wakes up on a random front lawn, and he meets Aimee. Aimee's clueless. Aimee is a social disaster. Aimee needs help, and it's up to the Sutterman to show Aimee a splendiferous time and then let her go forth and prosper. But Aimee's not like other girls, and before long he's in way over his head.
For the first time in his life, he has the power to make a difference in someone else's life – or ruin it forever.”
We're expecting more details on this one, so make sure you stay tuned!
