I just saw on imdb the film version of this incredible play will be out this year starring Matthew McConaughey, Gina Gershon, Emile Hirsch and Juno Temple. I can't believe I hadn't heard about this before! Does anyone know anything about it??

Being made by William "Bug" Friedkin. Guess he's into adapting Letts' plays. First I've heard.
"Promises, Promises" 4/30/10, "Everyday Rapture", "Bloody Bloody AJ" & "La Cage/Folles" 5/1/10, "American Idiot" 5/2/10. "Billy Elliot" (Chicago) 6/19/10, "9 to 5" (Nashville) 9/26/10, "Spring Awakening" (Nashville) 2/26/11, "Spider Man" 4/8/11, "Catch Me If..." & "How to Succeed..." 4/9/11, "Priscilla..." & Book of Mormon" 4/10/11, "Wicked" (Nashville) 10/30/11 "He's the narrator. I'm guessing the real Che Guevara didn't stand around street corners telling idle walkers-by the story of Eva Peron's ascension." - henrikegerman

As long as he doesn't suck the humour out again.

Any thoughts on the film?
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I wish he had the rights to the "August:Osage County" movie.

I thought BUG worked very well as a claustrophobic horror piece. It really crawled under your skin little by little. Granted, I saw the film before the play, but I still think it worked both ways.
