Adaptations are all the rage these days, and the upcoming big-screen version of Jonathan Tropper's novel This Is Where I Leave You is one adaptation we're eagerly anticipating, since we loved the book about a dysfunctional family begrudgingly coming together. Shawn Levy is directing, and Jason Bateman is on board to fill the shoes of main character Judd, one of four siblings who assemble to sit shiva when their father dies. If you've read the book, then you'll want to see who's playing who, so check out the casting so far.

It seems like more beloved books are being adapted for the big screen every year, and 2013 is no exception. Tons of anticipated films are coming out this year that are based on bestselling novels, including the next installment of the Hunger Games franchise and a new romance from Nicholas Sparks. To get you up to speed, here's a list of all the movies coming out this year that are based on books.
James Franco became a published author with his short-story collection, Palo Alto, but his newest venture into the book world sounds a lot juicier: Franco has written a novel based on his acting career. The book, called Actors Anonymous, will be published by Amazon, though it's still uncertain when the book will actually be released.
I've come to take Franco's wacky antics with a grain of salt at this point, but I have to admit I'm intrigued to read about his life and career — even if it is a fictionalization. Just think of how much fun it would be to guess which other Hollywood stars Franco has included with changed names. How do you feel about this news — are you interested in reading Franco's study of Franco?
It's that time again! The changing of the seasons to Spring means it's time for another of my reading lists. I have 15 books — classic and contemporary — that are in the process of being adapted into movies. Check out the literary offerings that I've compiled, and see the stars who are already lined up to bring the pages to life.

She's still rocking a different hair colour too, and BellaUK wants to know which look is prettiest? Kate took time out from work to get in the Halloween mood by watching Paranormal Activity 2 at the cinema. The film certainly spooked Kate's BFF Gary, as he was too scared to sleep on his own: bless!
