"Crazy" Duo Doing "The Taliban Shuffle"

"Crazy, Stupid, Love" writer/directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa will call action on the film adaptation of author Kim Barker's memoir "The Taliban Shuffle" says THR.


The book recounts Barker's (Tina Fey) years as a journalist in Afghanistan and Pakistan after arriving in the  region in 2002. During her time there she filed stories about militants, being a woman in wartime Iraq and Pakistan, dealing with boredom interspersed with dashes of violence and the promiscuous war-correspondent culture.

Robert Carlock penned the adapted screenplay.
