![]() ![]() ![]() Projects based on Eggers books have a chequered history in Hollywood. The cult US author is best known for his 2000 pseudo-memoir A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, which chronicled his 20-year-old self's attempts to bring up a younger brother, Christopher, after their parents both died of cancer within the space of a few months. Published in 2002, it was Eggers's debut novel. You Shall Know Our Velocity centres on two childhood friends who set out on a dizzying week-long, round-the-world odyssey with the aim of giving away a large sum of money to a deserving, yet-to-be determined cause. "Dave Eggers is a gifted storyteller and we are thrilled to be turning his hilarious yet poignant story of two best friends travelling the world into a feature film," said producer Michael Benaroya, of International Film Trust. ![]()
