Heather Hach (“Freaky Friday" remake and "Legally Blonde" musical) has been tapped to write the screenplay based on the book. Swank and Smith’s 2S Films is lined up to develop the film and handle co-producing duties with Aaron Geller and Darryl Porter. The non-fiction "French Women Don’t Get Fat" was published in 2004 and became a bestseller for writer Mireille Guiliano (who also worked with Champagne Veuve Clicquot). The book gave tips on how French women keep slim while enjoying high calorie foods and wines. The book made it to the top of the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list and sold more than 1 million copies in the U.S. It has been translated into 40 languages.
