Ruth Reichl 'Garlic and Sapphires' Movie?
Though it is PURE SPECULATION on the Daily Dish's part, Ruth Reichl (left) played by Catherine Keener (right) would be pretty brilliant.
The Los Angeles Times' food blog Daily Dish speculated yesterday about a movie based on former Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl's book Garlic and Sapphires:
Indeed, what is up with the movie? It's been written by Jeremy Leven (My Sister's Keeper, The Notebook). Originally envisioned as an HBO comedy series, the project was sold as a feature to Fox years ago. A representative from the production company confirmed that Garlic and Sapphires is in "active development" but didn't provide any more information.
The post's author offers Catherine Keener as her pick to play Reichl, which is a pretty good one. Would you put someone else in the role? Would you be willing to see such a movie?
