Reader Christopher is either excited or repulsed by the following news:
Hilary Swank has signed on to produce a movie version of the spectacularly bad Falling Out of Fashion, the first (and hopefully only) novel by Karen Yampolsky, the former executive assistant of Jane Pratt.
The book is a thinly veiled and thinly written account of Jane Magazine, specifically the months of transition from Jane to the new (and last) editor, Brandon Holley.
Gawker had a smackingly satisfying round-up of the book, which you can read for yourself.
Meanwhile, Variety hints that Swank may also star in the movie, which is… um… silly. It’s so silly it’ll probably make a lot of money.

I’m kind of either excited or repulsed too. I thought The Devil Wears Prada thing was over. Isssh.
I feel like Hilary is too old and structured as an actress to pull off this role. She just looks too mature to be in an assitant’s role. I am being judgemental – but she seems like a bad choice for the part.
I’d bet Hilary would be Jane, not the assistant…
Still don’t like it!
