Actress Jessica Biel Options Film Rights To Book With Librarian Heroine

Biel says she was smitten with Megan Abbott’s book Die a Little, and it is likely she will play the blond femme fatale with the dark past, rather than the other protagonist, a seemingly normal librarian. Hollywood is unwilling to pay for a period piece set and costumes, so the adaptation will bring the Los Angeles local into the modern era, rather than 1954, as it was originally.

    Lora King Was a Librarian?
    Your post (and the article) refer to Lora King as a librarian, but she wasn’t. She was a school teacher. Also, Alice was hardly a “blond femme fatale.” In the novel Alice is described thusly: “When she’d turn that black-haired head of hers, a collarbone would pop out disturbingly. She had no curves. She was barely a woman at all, and yet she seemed hopelessly feminine, from her airy walk, her muzzy, bobbing gesticulations, her pointy-toed shoes, and the spangly costume jewelry dangling from her delicate wrists.” Hmmm. Just how faithful can this movie adaption be we?

    I don’t know the book at all, just passing on the news as I received it. Those reporters get paid to check facts, I don’t.
