Kristin Gore (FUTURAMA, the beleaguered pseudo David O. Russell picture ACCIDENTAL LOVE, and daughter of Al Gore) will adapt Jon Ronson’s book THE PSYCHOPATH TEST for Universal and Imagine. Ronson's book…
…tackles how the medical community tries to diagnose and classify an elusive group: remorseless, deadly psychopaths. They say one out of every hundred people is a psychopath, devoid of empathy, manipulative, deceitful, charming, seductive, and delusional. The book explores their world and the madness industry.
…says THIS piece over at Deadline.
If Ronson’s name sounds familiar to you, you might be recognizing him as the writer of THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS, which was ported into a George Clooney/Ewan McGregor motion picture back in 2009.
Scarlett Johansson is attached to star in the picture, which Jay Roach (the AUSTIN POWERS films, MEET THE PARENTS) will helm.
