Josh Brolin in Labor Day by Jason Reitman
We all thought that Josh Brolin‘s upcoming project will be Young Adult, the Diablo Cody scripted and Jason Reitman directed movie.
But, we were wrong. Brolin is referring to Labor Day, an adaptation of the novel by Joyce Maynard, which will probably be Reitman’s next project after Young Adult.
Brolin said those rumors were likely inspired by the fact that he and Reitman are discussing a different project, and explained:
“We’re talking about another film – I think that’s where the wires got crossed. He’s doing another film with Charlize right now, and I read it, and it’s very, very good. But no, it’s another project we’re talking about doing.”
Check out the Labor Day novel description: “With the end of summer closing in and a steamy Labor Day weekend looming in the town of Holton Mills, New Hampshire, thirteen-year-old Henry, lonely, friendless, not too good at sports, spends most of his time watching television, reading, and daydreaming about the soft skin and budding bodies of his female classmates.
