It’s the last book I ever thought would be made into a movie: French Women Don’t Get Fat. And yet, the slim tome–which assures you that you can eat all the creme, beurre, and fromage that you want and still remain slim–is indeed coming to the silver screen.

According to this article in the Guardian, the movie will be not a documentary: “Swank’s production company 2S Films describes the proposed film as a romantic comedy which follows a ‘girl-next-door champagne company middle manager who learns some tough life lessons which help her become the woman she’s always wanted to be’.”–David E

PS: Coming sooner is the movie version of He’s Just Not That Into You. The cast includes Kris Kristofferson, who really should know better.
