The one real world book that has shown up in more films than any other book except the bible has to be “What to Expect when Your Expecting” – the handbook to pregnancy that has long since been the authority on the experience.
Well it looks like that book will be adapted to a film.
The 25 year-old bestseller was written by Heidi Murkoff and has remained popular ever since its publication in 1984, but now Freaky Friday screenwriter Heather Hach (herself currently nine months pregnant) has turned it into an ensemble piece about seven expectant couples.
I wouldn’t have thought that you could make a movie out of that kind of book, but with the pleasantly surprising Julie and Julia, a movie based on a cookbook, then why not a pregnancy guide – making it the centerpoint of the lives of a number of pregnant couples.
