According to Deadline, Golden Globe-nominated actor Will Ferrell (Blades of Glory, Daddy’s Home) has signed on to star in Amazon Studios’ forthcoming Prince of Fashion with Academy Award-nominated director Gus Van Sant set to adapt and helm the film.

Prince of Fashion is based on the popular GQ article “My Son, The Prince of Fashion”, written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Chabon. The article piece tells the story of the time when Chabon attended Paris Men’s Fashion Week with his 13-year-old son, where they experienced a week of high-fashion runways. It is a heartwarming story about his son’s passion and interest about the world of fashion.
