Alan Glynn’s debut novel shoots onto the big screen courtesy of director Neil Burger (The Illusionist), who surprisingly didn’t write the screenplay — that task went to Leslie Dixon, who of late has been writing middling romantic comedies, mostly (and the Hairspray remake). This is a great opportunity for Bradley Cooper to excite those of us who think his post-Hangover performances are about as cool as Gerard Butler’s post-300 career. Here’s hoping the costs are kept low, because the subject matter will be a tough mainstream sell, regardless of all the handsomeness and beauty amongst the cast members.
