Writing Judith Regan Into The Frog King?

Some speculation that Ellis' script for 'The Frog King' has a thinly veiled Judith Regan character in it.

The Frog King Begins This Fall

According to The Hollywood Reporter, production on 'The Frog King' will begin this fall using the screenplay penned by Bret Easton Ellis based on the Adam Davies novel.

The lead role is set to be played by Joseph Gordon Levitt with Darren Star directing.

The Frog King Gets Kissed

Its been over 2 years since I first mentioned it here on the site, but Ellis' screenplay based on the Adam Davies' novel 'The Frog King may finally be headed to the big screen.

The Hollywood Reporter has a story today that has Joseph Gordon Levitt in the lead role with Darren Star directing (thanks to TJ for sending this in). Here's a quick synapsis:

In "(The Frog) King," produced by Intermedia and GreeneStreet Films and written by Bret Easton Ellis, Gordon-Levitt plays a ne'er-do-well assistant editor whose penchant for messing up threatens a relationship with his dream girlfriend.

Reader Review of 'The Frog King' Screenplay

This was actually sent to me in early July. At the time, I'd never heard anything about The Frog King, but its sure relevant now:

I thought i'd share my thoughts after reading it. It sucked. Not that Ellis did a bad job structuring the story or writing dialogue or doing anything a writer adapting a script does, but the story and presumably the book, are stupid. The man character is the most unsympathatic idiot. He's a drunk, sleeping with the woman that owns his company to get ahead, cheats on his girlfriend, etc. The only likeable character is the girl he meets who is overly idealized and 2D.

people describe it as Bright Lights Big City meets High Fidelity, except that both the protagonists in those stories were decent guys and were only slightly pathetic. Joshua Jackson(dawson's creek) is attached to play the lead, which i see fitting since I dont like him or the character.

Ellis' Screenplay for 'The Frog King' Gets Picked Up

I didn't even know BEE had been working on this, but apparently Ellis wrote a screenplay to Adam Davies debut novel The Frog King. From the Amazon description of the book:

Harry Driscoll, raised in privilege and Ivy League-educated, is a peon at a prestigious New York publishing house--in fact, the house is called Prestige--and he hates it: hates the menial labor, hates the intellectual pretension, hates the political jockeying necessary to advancement. Driscoll is terrific on the disappointment peculiar to the overeducated and underemployed: "All those years of schooling (Yes I speak Old English!) and resumé building. (Yes I interned on Capitol Hill!) didn't pertain at all to the life that was waiting for me."

If anybody has read The Frog King, I'd be interested in what you all thought of it.
