McLaughlin and Kraus' own book has just been turned into a Weinstein Co. film starring Scarlett Johansson, Laura Linney, Paul Giamatti and Chris Evans and is set for release next year.
In their first studio assignment, the writers will turn Shapiro's midlife crisis into a romantic comedy. Rachael Horovitz of Specialty Films and Blumhouse's Jason Blum are producing.
Rattled by the prospect of turning 40 and restless with how her life was going, Shapiro decided to seek out the five boyfriends who dumped her. Her goal was to find out why she didn't measure up. Delacorte published the book.
Horovitz, who is producing "Grey Gardens" with Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore, found the book and brought it to Blum, producer of such indie fare as "Kicking and Screaming," who made a first-look deal with Paramount.
