MGM has acquired the film rights to Primates of Park Avenue by Wednesday Martin, according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter.
The controversial book about wealthy Upper East Side moms was a hot commodity among Hollywood producers. Here is more from THR:
The book sparked a bidding war with multiple bidders in the mix to pick up the memoir about the lives of rich young mothers in New York City.
The book recently made headlines after the New York Post reported that it was full of errors. Simon & Schuster responded to these claims of inaccuracy saying: “It is a common narrative technique in memoirs for some names, identifying characteristics and chronologies to be adjusted or disguised.” The publisher is updating future versions of the title to clarify some details.
