This is good news. Process Media has bought feature rights to Dave Eggers' novel "You Shall Know Our Velocity!" and signed Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl, episodes of Freaks and Geeks, Six Feet Under, The Office) to direct.
Process has hired Wells Tower, recipient of the Paris Review Discovery Prize, to adapt. The story centers on two childhood friends who come upon a large sum of money and embark on a weeklong around-the-world journey to give it away. I have no idea how they will adapt this, this is an epic, sprawling narrative that doesn't really fit into a three act structures. Either way, it is good to see Arteta making another movie.
