Jason Reitman options ‘Elliot Allagash’


23 June 2010

Academy Award nominee Jason Reitman has optioned the rights to 'Elliot Allagash' under his Right Of Way Films banner, the new film will turn his satirist's eye to the private schools and the mores of the super-wealthy.

'Elliot Allagash' is the debut novel by SNL writer Simon Rich and tells the story of how Seymour Herson, the least popular student at Manhattan's exclusive Glendale School, becomes school hero with a little help from Elliot Allagash, heir to the country's largest fortune and all-round deviant genius.

Reitman will be producing but no word on whether he'll be getting behind the camera too, his last two films 'Juno' and 'Up In The Air' have garnered a lot of praise, and this could be the triple for the director.
