Fans of quality novel adaptations rejoice! Or at least pray that this one will live up to expectations… Dodgeball’s Rawston Thurber is busy adapting Wonder Boys writer Michael Chabon’s debut novel The Mysteries Of Pittsburgh.
And Peter Sarsgaard, Sienna Miller and Max Minghella have all signed up, which is set in the city in the mid-1980s. Art Bechstein (Minghella) becomes obsessed with local lad Arthur Lecomte, who then introduces him to the beautiful Jane (Miller) and legendary boyfriend Cleveland (Sarsgaard). Together this little group helps – and hinders Art through his last summer as a kid.
Thurber’s kicking off the shoot in August in Pennsylvania.
