‘The Game’, the number one best selling novel by Neil Strauss, is under development for a movie adaptation which is scheduled to be released in 2008. The Game recounts the adventures of the writer Neil Strauss who joins a community of pick-up artists and transforms himself from a shy, nerdy writer into the world’s number one pick-up artist while simultaneously creating his own alter ego, Style, a character irresistible to women. The movie will be produced by Andrew Milano (In Good Company) and Columbia Pictures will be the distributor. No actor has been cast officially but there are rumors that Johnny Depp and Cillian Murphy (Batman Returns, Cold Mountain) will be in the movie. Paul and Chris Weitz (American Pie, About a Boy, In Good Company) will also be producing and Paul Weitz is set to adapt the novel and he may be directing.

The movie will explore in depth and expose the pick-up artist community and it will cause controversy in the subject of man and woman relationships.

Verdict: 4/5
