Just some quick news. Stephen Daldry, director of The Reader, will be directing the film adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Being produced by Scott Rudin, Paramount, and Warner Bros. The adaptation was written by Eric Roth. Roth is a great screenwriter; his credits include Forrest Gump, Ali, Munich, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. This is an impressive group of creative minds and it appears that Foer's unique story is in a good hand.
His other novel, Everything is Illuminated, was turned into a great film adaptation. It was colorful and very entertaining. Hopefully, this adaptation will hold up as well. The novel is definitely worth reading. It is very well written, it is about a young man who goes on a journey of discovery after losing his father on 9/11.
