Paramount, Lorne Michaels Developing Autism Book ‘Neurotribes’ as Movie

Quote:

Paramount has acquired movie rights to Steve Silberman’s science book “Neurotribes” and set up the project with Lorne Michaels at his Broadway Video production company

Matt Rager has been hired to write the adaptation. Rager has collaborated with James Franco on “As I Lay Dying,” “The Sound and the Fury,” “In Dubious Battle,” and “The Institute” and recently finished adapting the Stephen King short story “Drunken Fireworks” for Rubicon Entertainment.

Very exciting news. It never occurred to me that "Neurotribes" would be anything more then documentry material nevermind the stuff of a Hollywood feature film. As influential as the books can be movies have much larger audiences.
