Twilight fan novel, Beautiful Bastard getting adapted
You know how I wrote that feature the other day taking guesses on what the next Twilight would be? Turns out I had misjudged the central audience of those movies. It wasn't for teeny boppers as I had first thought, it's for the amalgam of "adults" that had surrounded the series and turned it into something...else...something...dirtier. Next in the line of fan fiction book, then friggin movie adaptations, after 50 Shades of Dirty Birdies is Beautiful Bastard. A novel that originally started out as The Office, a story featuring a boss who's "exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard." Guh. You know what sucks? The book didn't even go on sale until yesterday and it's getting a friggin' movie. I'm in the wrong business. Hurry everyone! Pitch your dirty fan fiction books now! [via THR] Did you know?
