Fox 2000 is going to adapt the hilariously vulgar children's parody book Go the F--k to Sleep for the big screen. They've hired husband and wife screenwriting team Ken Marino and Erica Oyama Marino to write the script. The title for the film has also been slightly changed to Go the F to Sleep.
The book was written by Adam Mansbach who became frustrated with being unable to get his young daughter to go to sleep at night. The book was illustrated by Ricardo Cortes, and it became famous when Samuel L. Jackson ended up narrating it, which I've included below.
Here's the official description of the book:
"Go the F--k to Sleep" is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award–winning author Adam Mansbach’s verses perfectly capture the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdity.
With illustrations by Ricardo Cortés, "Go the F--k to Sleep" is beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny—a book for parents new, old, and expectant.
You probably should not read it to your children.
I could see this turning out to be a great comedy, and it'd be pretty cool if they ended up getting Jackson to star in it.
