The project is based on the 2015 novel of the same name by Cheryl Della Pietra and will be adapted by Rebecca Thomas and Jessica Caldwell.
It takes place in 1992 and follows an aspiring writer named Alley Russo (Morrone) who has an exciting new job as an assistant to legendary ‘gonzo journalist’ Walker Reade (Dafoe) where he lives at his compound/party house in Aspen.
The synopsis continues according to Deadline: “Under orders to help the notorious and chaotic Walker settle down to work on his long-promised latest blur of fact and fiction, Alley soon discovers the truth: a life of chronic substance abuse has undermined Walker’s writing skill, until all he can produce from his drug-soaked brain are pages of word salad.
Forced to help a sodden, manic braggart through one relatively uncreative day after another, Alley begins to transform Walker’s rants and ravings into publishable prose by running it through the filter of her own mind and her own typewriter, an act of moral support”. plagiarism/betrayal that keeps Walker’s career alive, for a few more months.’
Arquette, 54, will also star in the project as Claudia, the long-time caretaker and manager of ‘gonzo journalist’ Reade.
