No, Warner Bros. hasn’t bought the FSR staff memoirs, but they have acquired rights to “Drink, Play, F@#k”, a book that fires back at the best-seller “Eat, Pray, Love.”
THR.com reports that “Play”, written by Andrew Gottleib, is “the fictional story of Bob Sullivan, a man who, seeking solace after his wife leaves him, goes on a bender in Ireland, takes a gambling jaunt to Las Vegas, and embarks on a sex-tourism trip to Thailand.” You just knew that the city of Bangkok was going to make its way into the story.
“Eat, Pray, Love” is Eliazabeth Gilbert’s memoir centered on her “quest to find peace through various modes of living after she endures a painful divorce. The paperback version has been on the New York Times best-seller list for over a year, and is being developed by Plan B at Paramount, with Julie Roberts attached.
