'High Fidelity' Duo May Re-Team
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stephen Frears and D.V. DeVincentis, who teamed up on the John Cusack breakout High Fidelity, could be joining forces again.
DeVincentis is writing and Frears is attached to direct Lay the Favorite, a dramedy set in the world of geeky gamblers that's set up at Focus Features.
The project is based on Beth Raymer's upcoming memoir Lay the Favorite, Take the Dog, which is about a woman in her early thirties who has made a series of bad choices but achieves a redemption of sorts when she meets and then becomes involved with a group of math geeks trying to figure out the sportsbook system in Las Vegas.
DeVincentis said about the book, "It's a less violent, less sketchy version of the mob. This is the version of 50-year-old math geeks from Queens in basketball shorts who have pet guinea pigs."
