Deadline:

Will Ferrell is attached to star and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Gus Van Sant will adapt and direct Prince of Fashion for Amazon Studios.

The project is based on Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Chabon’s GQ article, “My Son, The Prince of Fashion,“ which follows the reporter’s visit to Paris Men’s Fashion Week with his 13-year-old son. In the article, Chabon tells a heartwarming story of his son’s passion for a world beyond his years, from meeting his fashion idol to experiencing a week of high-fashion runways, at the end of which he finally feels like he’s found “his people.“ When the article was originally published in GQ, it became an internet sensation and was nominated for a “National Magazine Award.“

Here’s a link to the original article.

Good to see Farrell stretching the more “serious" muscles again.
