Adam McKay Charts "The Big Short"

"Anchorman" director Adam McKay will helm and pen the adapted screenplay for a film version of  author Michael Lewis' 2010 book "The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine" says Screen.


The book deals with the housing and credit bubble tracing where the economic downturn truly began - "the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts".

The goal for McKay is to take the convoluted world of finance and translator into a dark comedy

Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner will produce the film.
