Variety reports that Warner Bros. Pictures has acquired the film rights to Jonathan Tropper’s upcoming novel This is Where I Leave You.
The story follows Judd Englander who returns home to find his wife in bed with his boss. He now faces both divorce and unemployment, and his misery is further increased with the sudden death of his father.
He is then asked to attend a ‘sit shiva’ (a seven-day mourning period in Jewish custom) for his father with his brothers and sisters at his childhood home. There he has to confront who he really is and who he can become.
Greg Berlanti is being billed as a possible helmer for the project, though he is still committed to the Green Lantern film.
