Actor,
or should I say director Jason Bateman is on a fire. After making his feature
film debut with Bad Words, he is now poised to return to the director’s chair
in the adaptation of author Kevin Wilson novel, The Family Fang.
The story
focuses on the two children of performance artist parents, who make their kids,
participate in all manner of weird activities. Now older, both children return
home to deal with a family crisis and are once again forced to participate in their
parents’ final performance.
So far
only actress Nicole Kidman has been confirmed.
The Family
Fang Book Synopsis Via Amazon:
For
outré performance artists, Caleb and Camille Fang, everything in life is
secondary to art, including their children. Annie and Buster (popularly known
as Child A. and Child B.) are the unwilling stars of their parents’ chaotically
subversive work. Art is truly a family affair for the Fangs. Years later, their
lives in disarray, Annie and Buster reluctantly return home in search of
sanctuary—only to be caught up in one last performance. The Family Fang
sparkles with Kevin Wilson’s inventive dialogue and wonderfully rendered
set-pieces that capture the surreal charm of the Fang’s most notable work. With
this brilliant novel, the family Fang is destined to join the families
Tenenbaum and Bluth as paragons of high dysfunction.
