If you’re wondering what’s the latest big Hollywood project, we’re here to answer that question, so check it out.
Barry Josephson is developing a feature version of James King‘s family drama Bill Warrington’s Last Chance.
The story is about a 79 year old man trying to reconnect with his estranged adult children before Alzheimer’s takes over his mind, or if you prefer more details:
Here’s an official synopsis:
“A magnificent debut about a man’s odyssey toward family redemption with his granddaughter along for the ride. Bill Warrington realizes he has Alzheimer’s and his lucid days are numbered.
Determined to repair a lifetime of damage to his estranged adult children, Bill takes off with his fifteen-year-old granddaughter April on a cross-country drive, bound for San Francisco, where she dreams of becoming a rock star.
As the unlikely pair heads west, Bill leaves clues intended to force his three children-including April’s frantic mother-to overcome their mutual distrust and long-held grievances to work together to find them.
In this dazzling road trip novel, James King masterfully explores themes of aging, sibling rivalry, family dysfunction, and coming of age, against a backdrop of the American heartland. Unflinching, funny, and poignant, Bill Warrington’s Last Chance speaks to that universal longing for familial reconciliation, love, and forgiveness.”
The book won last year’s Amazon Breakthrough Novel award, so we guess that this story could sound quite interesting on a big screen.
At this moment we know that Alexander Young will exec produce for Josephson Entertainment.
His previous work include Enchanted, Aliens in the Attic, Hide and Seek and The Ladykillers.
Still no word on possible cast, but as usual, stay tuned for updates!
