Serving Up a Feast

The Book Standard says Morgan Freeman is in talks to star as philosophy professor Harry Scott in an adaptation of Charles Baxter's The Feast of Love, described as an exploration of the magical, mysterious, sometimes painful incarnations of love. I never read it, but predict my friend Meg, who named her cat after the author, will be intrigued. (P.S. Meg's got a witty new blog...check it out.) The film will be directed by the guy who did Kramer Vs. Kramer, so that's got to bode well. -- Amy
