Tucker Max Hopes They Serve Beer in Hell

April 17, 2008


Tucker Max will adapt his bawdy best-seller "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" into a big-screen comedy with director Bob Gosse, says The Hollywood Reporter.

"Hell," now No. 12 on the New York Times best-seller list after a three-year run, chronicles Max's alcohol-fueled true adventures. The film will follow his trip to a friend's bachelor party, where he ensnares the groom in a lie that threatens the wedding, then abandons him to pursue further carnal knowledge. After being banned from the nuptials, Max attempts to get back into his friend's good graces.

Pinkslip Pictures' Max Wong (Bring It On) and Karen Firestone will produce with the Collective's Aaron Ray (Big Momma's House), Max and co-screenwriter Nils Parker.

The privately financed feature begins shooting June 2 in Louisiana.

These jerks stole the title of my 4th grade diary. My 5th grade diary was titled "A story of Redemption."

This is my buddies favorite book, and on breaks at work we all take turns passing Tucker Max's book around, this is going to be a very funny film.

I never thought I would see the day that a Tucker Max movie got made.

I'm pumped.

Proud to say that Tucker is an alumn of my high school, Blair Academy. So was the booking agent for the Spitzer prostitute scandal.

If they're making this, then they should make a movie about the Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox(not angelina jolies kid). Or something involving the content of Thebestpageintheuniverse.com now that guy is hilarious.

This book is awesome. Good luck with the movie, although I'm sure Hollywood will screw it up.

Actually Roger, he's taking every possible measure to avoid that kind of thing. Look up the movie's blog, it's a pretty cool real-time behind the scenes thing.
