MGM has set Josh Schwartz to write and make his feature directorial debut with a fresh take on the 1984 Jay McInerney novel "Bright Lights, Big City."
Variety says that Schwartz, co-creator-executive producer of NBC's "Chuck" and The CW's "Gossip Girl," will produce the film with Stephanie Savage.
The novel revolves around a disillusioned magazine writer who numbs the pain of a failed marriage and writer's block with drugs, alcohol and nightly carousing. It was made into a film in 1988 starring Michael J. Fox and Kiefer Sutherland.
Schwartz begins writing after he completes the script for X-Men: First Class. He's also working on "Lily," a "Gossip Girl" spin-off series that will star Brittany Snow.
