And Starring Hilary Swank, as the Fashion Assistant

Jun 05, 2008 @ 11:27am

Hilary Swank 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 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!
