Around the turn of the millennium the hot book to be seen with was The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank (it wasn't really about hunting or fishing, but about a young woman called Jane and her lives and loves told in a series of collected stories). Francis Ford Coppola bought the Rules-parody title story and sold it to Reese Witherspoon's film company as a vehicle for the Legally Blonde star. Then...nothing.
Now, finally! Sarah Michelle Gellar is starring in a new version of the film, with the main character's name changed (to Brett- Brett?!) and by the sound of things, very loosely based on the original. Marc Klein, who wrote the screenplay, was also responsible for good-natured but sappy Serendipity, so I'm expecting more of the same... which means, of course, that I can't wait!
