Delivery Man Scores Another Big Package?

Back in February, Sarah discussed how Joe McGinniss, Jr. had landed a deal with Black Cat, the paperback wing of Grove/Atlantic, for his first novel with a helping hand from Bret Easton Ellis. Now sources tell us the bidding war for the film rights to The Delivery Man (“a portrait of today’s lost generation, set in Las Vegas and involving a teenage-girl escort ring, with an unlikely love story at its heart”) may be coming to a close, with ICM ready to secure a “big movie deal” for their young client.
