James Franco adapting academics' retreat project

James Franco has snapped up the rights to turn writers Caleb Powell and David Shields' new book I Think You're Totally Wrong into a new film, starring the authors themselves.

Franco has adapted the book, based on four days stay-at-home dad Powell and his former college professor spent talking about life, fatherhood and their art in a cabin retreat, and plans to appear in the film.

The movie, in which Powell and Shields will play themselves, is slated for release later this year (15). It is not clear if Franco will also be directing the project.
