Some interesting things in the works: Shana Feste (The Greatest) has been hired by Hilary Swank’s 2S Films to adapt the novel “You’re Not You” and direct it for the big screen. The debut novel of Michelle Wildgen, “You’re Not You” is about a dying woman and the younger woman who arrives to take care of her. (HR) Screenwriter Liz Garcia (”The Necklace”) has been hired to adapt the first book in the series “The Au Pairs,” written by Melissa de la Cruz, for Warner Bros. De la Cruz’s best-selling novels detail the flirty fun of three teenage girls who answer an ad to become au pairs for the summer to a rich family with four kids. Sex, sand and shopping ensue in the Hamptons-set story. (HR) “Sex and the City” alum Jenny Bicks has been recruited to pen a pilot script for HBO, that is loosely inspired by the Modern Love column in the New York Times’ Sunday Styles section. Pilot will revolve around the fictionalized male editor of the column and his family life as he endures a messy divorce, a strained relationship with his teenage daughter and a difficult return to the world of dating. (Variety) Debra Messing is back at NBC. The network is in negotiations to pick up a comedy written by The Starter Wife team of Josann McGibbon and Sara Parriott. Messing stars as a laid-off CEO who is as ill-prepared to be a full-time wife and mother as her husband is to provide for the family. (HR)
