Jason Reitman Gets His Hand On "Elliot Allagash"

Jason Reitman and his Right of Way Films banner have optioned movie rights to "Elliot Allagash," a novel by Simon Rich.

Rich, now a writer on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," will tackle adapting "Allagash."

Reitman intends to produce the adaptation; whether he intends to direct hasn't been determined.

"Allagash," which offers a satiric take on private schools and the excesses of the rich, centers on Seymour Herson, a boy who is regularly picked on at his private school. He is taken under the wing of the book's title character, a teen who regularly gets drunk and enjoys villainy.
