James Frey is making a sci-fi movie with the Russo brothers that is hopefully not a scam
Apparently, it’s pretty hard to get totally blacklisted in Hollywood these days. At least that seems to be the lesson we can take away from the saga of James Frey. Not only did he write A Million Little Pieces—the supposed memoir that was mostly made up—but he also co-wrote I Am Number Four—the movie adaptation of which was a huge flop. So we can’t be the only ones who are a little surprised to hear that Frey has come up with an idea for a “science fiction space franchise” that is supposedly so amazing that—in the words of Deadline—”book publishers are hot and bothered” over it. Also, Fox 2000 already wants to make it into a movie, and Joe and Anthony Russo want to produce said movie. Is it possible we’re all thinking of a different James Frey?
