Brad Pit and Natalie Portman are attached to star in Paramount Pictures adaptation of Leanne Shapton’s new book “Important Artifacts and Personal Property From the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion and Jewelry.”

Apparently, Paramount championed the auction for the book rights Tuesday night. The book takes the form of a Sotheby’s-like estate auction catalog, with 325 entries and photographs illustrating items that bring to light to the private moments — the rise and fall of a four-year relationship between a fictitious couple Hal Morris (a 40ish photographer) and Lenore Doolan (a New York Times food columnist in her late 20s).

The story will be developed into a romantic comedy that will star Pitt and Portman.

The story uses items that range from clothes to notes, emails and heirlooms to convey the excitement, hopes, dreams and, ultimately, the heartache of a love affair that runs its course.
