Colin Firth (The King’s Speech) and Michael Fassbender (Shame) are shopping around their film Genius with The Weinsten Company in the UK being the first buyer, reports The Hollywod Reporter.
The film is based on the National Book Award-winning biography Max Perkins: Editor of Genius revolving around the relationship between literary phenom Thomas Wolfe (Fassbender) and famed editor Max Perkins (Firth) who shared a “tender, complex friendship” that changed the course of both of their lives.
Wolfe’s first novel, Look Homeward, Angel: A Story of the Buried Life, is described by Amazon.com as a coming-of-age story about “a young man’s burning desire to leave his small town and tumultuous family in search of a better life, in 1929.” It’s written in stream of consciousness and believed to be based on Wolfe’s own life.
