Caught this is in the BuzzBin at Movies.com. Based on the book of the same title, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, by author Nick Flynn, has been picked up by Columbia Pictures and given to Paul Weitz [American Pie & About a Boy] to helm. But not before they give the film another more suitable name. The FCC and MPAA are going to have a field day.
The story is about Flynn's relationship with his father after he encounters him while working as a case worker in a Boston homeless shelter. I came across this excerpt from the book somewhere online, "Sometimes I'd see my father, walking past my building on his way to another nowhere. I could have given him a key, offered a piece of my floor. But if I let him inside the line between us would blur, my own slow-motion car wreck would speed up."
No word on cast yet but you can bet the name will undergo a change. Can you imagine the number of people who will be offended by the word SUCK?
