Paramount Pictures picks up The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine so it can be yet another novel that will be conjured into a feature, reports Variety. The Michael Lewis written novel is about a brilliant account—character-rich and darkly humorous—of how the U.S. economy was driven over the cliff. Producing the picture is Brad Pitt under his Plan B Entertainment company with Bennett Miller, director of Capote, is helming the feature.
Michael Lewis is quite a huge commodity within the realms of Tinseltown, especially since he wrote the novel turned Academy Award nominated picture The Blind Side. No word yet on who will be attached to the picture to star.
