Good news for young men dealing with their burgeoning sexuality and also giant bugs: Edgar Wright is making a movie just for you. The Hollywood Reporter brings news that the Baby Driver director is in talks with New Regency to next direct Grasshopper Jungle, an adaptation of Andrew Smith’s 2014 young-adult novel of the same name.
The film’s script is coming from Scott Rosenberg, the all-over-the-place writer of Con Air, Gone in Sixty Seconds, High Fidelity, Kangaroo Jack, and, soon, Venom. The story sees a horny Iowa teen dealing with his feelings of attraction toward both his male best friend and his girlfriend. It also sees him dealing with a plague of large, man-eating praying mantises. So, Y Tu Mamá ‘Them!’?
