Rumour has it that an obscure first novel may be in the future for one of George Clooney’s next film projects. The book is ‘The Cadillac Diet or An Act of God is a Hard Act to Follow’ by m.lewis. Apparently the book has been kicking around Hollywood for a couple of years with iconic literary agent Mike Hamilburg. Will Clooney direct and act (as in ‘Good Night and Good Luck’) or ‘just’ act? The lead male part of Michael Wade seems perfect for Clooney, especially if he dons a few pounds as in ‘Syriana’. No word on the female lead yet. It might be perfect for an Eva Longoria type. The character is Maria Diana Magdalena. (Mary Magdalena?) She’s a Cuban-Italian-American tele reporter that grudgingly falls in love with the potential Clooney character.
Another part of the rumour has famed director Robert Altman at the helm with screenplay by the masterful William Goldman (Marathon Man, The Chamber, Misery, Shazam, etc.). The film version may be re-titled ‘An Act of God is a Hard Act to Follow’.
The story (which received a favourable write-up by actor James McDaniel and others) concerns love, family, race relations, spirituality and The Second Coming? This must be a bit of a comedy, too-eh? Lewis’ writing is said to be of the Carl Hiaasen, Tom Robbins school.
