Go the F*** to the Movie Theater

The news that Fox 2000 is adapting Go the Fuck to Sleep into a feature-length film, penned by husband-and-wife screenwriting duo Ken Marino (The State, Wanderlust, Role Models, Childrens Hospital) and Erica Oyama (Burning Love) is setting off a media firestorm.

What are the odds that Samuel L. Jackson or Werner Herzog, who both contributed hilarious and unforgettable audio versions of the book, make cameos in the film? (Or perhaps even this charming grandmother?)

Here’s some press about this news:

Los Angeles Times: “Rated F? Non-kids’ book ‘Go the … to Sleep’ could become film”

Entertainment Weekly: “Ken Marino and wife to adapt ‘Go the F–k to Sleep'”

IFC Fix: “‘Go the F—k to Sleep’ is getting a big screen adaptation”

“Ken Marino, the comedic actor best known for his roles in ‘Veronica Mars,’ ‘Childrens Hospital’ and ‘Role Models,’ is tackling the most epic children’s story of the current generation: ‘Go The F–k To Sleep.'”

Hollywood.com: “‘Go the F**k to Sleep’: An R-Rated Kids Movie?”

“Now, if visions of disappointing movies like He’s just Not That Into You or TV shows S**t My Dad Says — which both took clever, of-the-moment, albeit one-note ideas and effectively made them less so — just danced in your head, you can rest a little easier . . . Actor/writer/all-around hilarious human being Ken Marino (of Childrens Hospital, Party Down, Veronica Mars, Wet Hot American Summer, and Role Models fame) and his wife Erica Oyama are adapting the delightfully foul-mouthed illustrated book for Fox 2000.”
